Overview
We
are an
information technology consulting firm serving Global 2000 and other large
enterprise companies throughout the United States. We help our clients gain
competitive advantage by using Internet-based technologies to make their
businesses more responsive to market opportunities and threats, strengthen
relationships with their customers, suppliers and partners, improve productivity
and reduce information technology costs. We design, build and deliver eBusiness
solutions using third party and custom software products developed by our
partners. Our solutions include custom applications, portals and collaboration,
eCommerce, online customer management, enterprise content management, business
intelligence, business integration, mobile technology, technology platform
implementations and service oriented architectures. Our solutions enable our
clients to operate a real-time enterprise that dynamically adapts business
processes and the systems that support them to the changing demands of an
increasingly global, Internet-driven and competitive marketplace.
Through
our experience in developing and delivering eBusiness solutions for a large
number of Global 2000 clients, we have acquired significant domain expertise
that we believe differentiates our firm. We use expert project teams that we
believe deliver high-value, measurable results by working collaboratively with
clients and their partners through a user-centered, technology-based and
business-driven solutions methodology. We believe this approach enhances
return-on-investment for our clients by significantly reducing the time and
risk
associated with designing and implementing eBusiness integration
solutions.
We
are
expanding through a combination of organic growth and acquisitions. We believe
that information technology consulting is a fragmented industry and that there
are a substantial number of privately held information technology consulting
firms in our target markets that can be acquired on strategically beneficial
and
financially accretive terms. We have a track record of successfully identifying,
executing and integrating acquisitions that add strategic value to our business.
Over the past three years, we have acquired and integrated eight information
technology consulting firms, three of which were acquired in 2006. We also
completed an acquisition in February 2007. We believe that we can achieve
significantly faster growth in revenues and profitability through a combination
of organic growth and acquisitions than we could through organic growth
alone.
We
believe we have built one of the leading independent information technology
consulting firms in the United States. We serve our customers from our network
of fifteen offices throughout the United States and Canada. In addition, we
have
over 350 colleagues who are part of “national” business units, who travel
extensively to serve clients throughout the United States. Our future growth
plan includes expanding our business throughout the United States, both through
expansion of our national travel practices and through opening new offices,
both
organically and through acquisitions. In 2006, 2005 and 2004, 99%, 99%, and
98%
of our revenues, respectively, was derived from clients in the United States
while 1%, 1% and 2% of our revenues, respectively, was derived from clients
in
Canada. Over 99% of our total assets were located in the United States in 2006
and 2005, with the remainder located in Canada.
We
place
strong emphasis on building lasting relationships with clients. Over the past
three years ending December 31, 2006, an average of 81% of revenues, excluding
from the calculation for any single period revenues from acquisitions completed
in that single period, was derived from clients who continued to utilize our
services from the prior year. We have also built meaningful partnerships with
software providers, most notably IBM, whose products we use to design and
implement solutions for our clients. These partnerships enable us to reduce
our
cost of sales and sales cycle times and increase success rates through
leveraging our partners' marketing efforts and endorsements.
Industry
Background
A
number
of factors are shaping the information technology industry and, in particular,
the market for our information technology consulting services:
United
States Economic Recovery.
The
years 2001 and 2002 saw a protracted downturn in information technology spending
as a result of an economic recession in the United States and the collapse
of
the Internet “bubble.” The information technology consulting industry began to
experience a recovery in the second half of 2003 which continued through 2006.
The industry is benefiting from the overall improvement in the United States
economy as well as a need by businesses to continue the transformation that
they
began in the 1990s with the commercialization of the Internet. It is expected
that information technology services spending will continue to increase in
the
foreseeable future. According to independent market research firm Gartner
Dataquest, total information technology services spending in North America
is
expected to achieve a 6.3% compound annual growth rate through 2010, resulting
in a $365 billion market.
1
Need
to Rationalize Complex, Heterogeneous Enterprise Technology
Environments.
Over
the past 15 years, the information systems of many Global 2000 and large
enterprise companies have evolved from traditional mainframe-based systems
to
include distributed computing environments. This evolution has been driven
by
the benefits offered by distributed computing, including lower incremental
technology costs, faster application development and deployment, increased
flexibility and improved access to business information. Organizations have
also
widely installed enterprise resource planning (ERP), supply chain management
(SCM), and customer relationship management (CRM), applications in order to
streamline internal processes and enable communication and
collaboration.
As
a
result of investment in these different technologies, organizations now have
complex enterprise technology environments with incompatible technologies and
high costs of integration. These increases in complexity, cost and risk,
combined with the business and technology transformation caused by the
commercialization of the Internet, have created demand for information
technology consultants with experience in enabling the integration of disparate
platforms and leveraging Internet-based technologies to support business and
technology goals.
Increased
Competitive Pressures.
The
marketplace continues to become increasingly global, Internet-driven and
competitive. To gain and maintain a competitive advantage in this environment,
Global 2000 and large enterprise companies seek real-time access to critical
business applications and information that enables quality business decisions
based on the latest possible information, flexible business processes and
systems that respond quickly to market opportunities, improved quality and
lower
cost customer care through online customer self-service and provisioning,
reduced supply chain costs and improved logistics through processes and systems
integrated online to suppliers, partners and distributors and increased employee
productivity through better information flow and collaboration.
Enabling
these business goals requires integrating, automating and extending business
processes, technology infrastructure and software applications end-to-end within
an organization and with key partners, suppliers and customers. This requires
the ability not only to integrate the disparate information resource types,
databases, legacy mainframe applications, packaged application software, custom
applications, trading partners, people and Web services, but also to manage
the
business processes that govern the interactions between these resources so
that
organizations can engage in “real-time business.” Real-time business refers to
the use of current information in business to execute critical business
processes.
These
factors are driving increased spending on software and related consulting
services in the areas of application integration, middleware and portals (AIMP),
as these segments play critical roles in the integration between new and
existing systems and the extension of those systems to customers, suppliers
and
partners via the Internet. Companies are expected to increase software spending
on integration broker suites, enterprise portal services, application platform
suites and message-oriented middleware. As companies increase spending on
software, their overall spending on services will also increase, often by a
multiplier of each dollar spent on software.
Quarterly
Fluctuations.
Our
quarterly operating results are subject to seasonal fluctuations. The first
and
fourth quarters are impacted by professional staff vacation and holidays, as
well as the timing of buying decisions by clients. Our results will also
fluctuate, in part, based on whether we succeed in counterbalancing periodic
declines in services revenues when a project or engagement is completed or
cancelled by entering into arrangements to provide additional services to the
same or other clients. Software sales are seasonal as well, with generally
higher software demand during the third and fourth quarter. These and other
seasonal factors may contribute to fluctuations in our operating results from
quarter-to-quarter.
Competitive
Strengths
We
believe our competitive strengths include:
|
§
|
Domain
Expertise.
We have acquired significant domain expertise in a core set of eBusiness
solutions and software platforms. These solutions include custom
applications, portals and collaboration, eCommerce, customer relationship
management, enterprise content management, business intelligence,
business
integration, mobile technology solutions, technology platform
implementations and service oriented architectures and enterprise
service
bus. The platforms in which we have significant domain expertise
and on
which these solutions are built include IBM WebSphere, TIBCO
BusinessWorks, Microsoft.NET, Oracle-Seibel, Cognos and Documentum,
among
others.
|
2
|
§
|
Delivery
Model and Methodology.
We believe our significant domain expertise enables us to provide
high-value solutions through expert project teams that deliver measurable
results by working collaboratively with clients through a user-centered,
technology-based and business-driven solutions methodology. Our eNable
Methodology, a unique and proven execution process map we developed,
allows for repeatable, high quality services delivery. The eNable
Methodology leverages the thought leadership of our senior strategists
and
practitioners to support the client project team and focuses on
transforming our clients' business processes to provide enhanced
customer
value and operating efficiency, enabled by Web technology. As a result,
we
believe we are able to offer our clients the dedicated attention
that
small firms usually provide and the delivery and project management
that
larger firms usually offer.
|
|
§
|
Client
Relationships.
We have built a track record of quality solutions and client satisfaction
through the timely, efficient and successful completion of numerous
projects for our clients. As a result, we have established long-term
relationships with many of our clients who continue to engage us
for
additional projects and serve as references for us. In the year ending
December 31, 2006, an average of 81% of revenues, excluding from
the
calculation for any single period revenues from acquisitions completed
in
that single period, was derived from clients who continued to utilize
our
services from the prior year.
|
|
§
|
Vendor
Partnerships and Endorsements.
We have built meaningful partnerships with software providers, including
IBM, whose products we use to design and implement solutions for
our
clients. These partnerships enable us to reduce our cost of sales
and
sales cycle times and increase win rates by leveraging our partners'
marketing efforts and endorsements. We also serve as a sales channel
for
our partners, helping them market and sell their software products.
We are
a Premier IBM business partner, a TeamTIBCO partner, a Microsoft
Gold
Certified Partner, a Certified Oracle Partner, and a Documentum Select
Services Team Partner.
|
|
§
|
Geographic
Focus.
We believe we have built one of the leading independent information
technology consulting firms in the United States. We serve our clients
from our network of fifteen offices throughout the United States
and
Canada. In addition, we have over 350 colleagues who are part of
“national” business units, who travel extensively to serve clients
throughout the United States. Our future growth plan includes expanding
our business throughout the United States through expansion of our
national travel practices, both organically and through acquisition.
We
believe our network provides a competitive platform from which to
expand
nationally.
|
|
§
|
Emerging
Offshore Capability.
We have an exclusive supplier relationship with a small offshore
development facility in Bitoli, Macedonia. Through this facility
we
contract with a team of professionals with expertise in IBM, TIBCO
and
Microsoft technologies and with specializations that include application
development, adapter and interface development, quality assurance
and
testing, monitoring and support, product development, platform migration,
and portal development. This expertise, as well as our partnerships
with
offshore services providers based in India, will enhance our ability
to
deliver solutions.
|
Our
Solutions
We
help
clients gain competitive advantage by using Internet-based technologies to
make
their businesses more responsive to market opportunities and threats, strengthen
relationships with customers, suppliers and partners, improve productivity
and
reduce information technology costs. Our eBusiness solutions enable these
benefits by developing, integrating, automating and extending business
processes, technology infrastructure and software applications end-to-end within
an organization and with key partners, suppliers and customers. This provides
real-time access to critical business applications and information and a
scalable, reliable, secure and cost-effective technology infrastructure that
enables clients to:
|
§
|
give
managers and executives the information they need to make quality
business
decisions and dynamically adapt their business processes and systems
to
respond to client demands, market opportunities or business
problems;
|
|
§
|
improve
the quality and lower the cost of customer acquisition and care through
Web-based customer self-service and
provisioning;
|
|
§
|
reduce
supply chain costs and improve logistics by flexibly and quickly
integrating processes and systems and making relevant real-time
information and applications available online to suppliers, partners
and
distributors;

§
|
increase
the effectiveness and value of legacy enterprise technology infrastructure
investments by enabling faster application development and deployment,
increased flexibility and lower management costs;

on unique
problems and opportunities.

iterative
and results oriented;
|

|
centered
around a flexible and repeatable

|
collaborative
and customer-centered in that we work with not only our clients but
with

Our
Strategy
Our
goal
is to be the premier technology management consulting firm in the United States.
To achieve our goal, our strategy is:
|
§
|
Grow
Relationships with Existing and New Clients.
We intend to continue to solidify and expand enduring relationships
with
our existing clients and to develop long-term relationships with
new
clients by providing them with solutions that generate a demonstrable,
positive return-on-investment. Our incentive plan rewards our project
managers to work in conjunction with our sales people to expand
the nature
and scope of our engagements with existing clients.
|
|
§
|
Continue
Making Disciplined Acquisitions.
The information technology consulting market is a fragmented industry
and
we believe there are a substantial number of smaller privately
held
information technology consulting firms that can be acquired and
be
immediately accretive to our financial results. We have a track
record of
successfully identifying, executing and integrating acquisitions
that add
strategic value to our business. Our established culture and
infrastructure positions us to successfully integrate each acquired
company, while continuing to offer effective solutions to our clients.
Over the past three years, we have acquired and successfully integrated
eight privately held information technology consulting firms including
three in 2006. We continue to actively look for attractive acquisitions
that leverage our core expertise and look to expand our capabilities
and
geographic presence.
|
|
§
|
Expand
Nationally.
We
believe we have built one of the leading independent information
technology consulting firms in the United States. We serve our
customers
from our network of fifteen offices throughout the central United
States
and Canada. In addition, we have over 350 colleagues who are part
of
“national” business units, who travel extensively to serve clients
throughout the United States. Our future growth plan includes expanding
our business, both through expansion of our national travel practices and
through opening new offices, both organically and through acquisition.
We
believe our network provides a competitive platform.
|
|
§
|
Enhance
Brand Visibility.
Our focus on a core set of eBusiness solutions, applications and
software
platforms and a targeted customer and geographic market has given
us
significant market visibility. In addition, we believe we have achieved
critical mass in size, which has significantly enhanced our visibility
among prospective clients, employees and software vendors. As we
continue
to grow our business, we intend to highlight to customers and prospective
customers our thought leadership in eBusiness solutions and infrastructure
software technology platforms.
|

|
§
|
Invest
in Our People and Culture.
We have developed a culture built on teamwork, a passion for technology
and client service, and a focus on cost control and the bottom line.
As a
people-based business, we continue to invest in the development of
our
professionals and to provide them with entrepreneurial opportunities
and
career development and advancement. Our technology, business consulting
and project management ensure that client team best practices are
being
developed across the company and our recognition program rewards
teams for
implementing those practices. We believe this results in a team of
motivated professionals with the ability to deliver high-quality
and
high-value services for our
clients.
|
|
§
|
Leverage
Existing and Pursue New Strategic Alliances.
We intend to continue to develop alliances that complement our core
competencies. Our alliance strategy is targeted at leading business
advisory companies and technology providers and allows us to take
advantage of compelling technologies in a mutually beneficial and
cost-competitive manner. Many of these relationships, and in particular
IBM, result in our partners, or their clients, utilizing us as the
services firm of choice.
|
|
§
|
Use
Offshore Services When Appropriate.
Our solutions and services are typically delivered at the customer
site
and require a significant degree of customer participation, interaction
and specialized technology expertise which tends to offset the potential
savings from utilizing offshore resources. However, there are projects
in
which we can use lower cost offshore technology professionals to
perform
less specialized roles on our solution engagements, enabling us to
fully
leverage our United States colleagues while offering our clients
a highly
competitive blended average rate. We have established partnerships
with a
number of offshore staffing firms from whom we source offshore technology
professionals on an as-needed basis. Additionally, we maintain an
exclusive arrangement with an offshore development and delivery firm
in
Macedonia.
|
Sales
and Marketing
As
of
December 31, 2006, we had a 36 person direct solutions-oriented sales force.
Our
sales team is experienced and connected through a common services portfolio,
sales process and performance management system. Our sales process utilizes
project pursuit teams that include those of our information technology
professionals best suited to address a particular prospective client's needs.
We
reward our sales force for developing and maintaining relationships with our
clients and seeking out follow-on engagements as well as leveraging those
relationships to forge new ones in different areas of the business and with
our
clients' business partners. More than 85% of our sales are executed by our
direct sales force.
Our
target client base includes companies in the United States with annual revenues
in excess of $1 billion. We believe this market segment can generate the repeat
business that is a fundamental part of our growth plan. We pursue only solutions
opportunities where our domain expertise and delivery track record give us
a
competitive advantage. We also typically target engagements of up to $3 million
in fees, which we believe to be below the target project range of most large
systems integrators and beyond the delivery capabilities of most local
boutiques.
We
have
sales and marketing partnerships with software vendors including IBM
Corporation, TIBCO Software, Inc., Microsoft Corporation, Oracle-Siebel, Cognos,
Inc., Art Technology Group, Inc., or ATG, Wily Technology, Inc., Bowstreet,
Adobe Systems Inc., and Stellent, Inc. These companies are key vendors of open
standards based software commonly referred to as middleware application servers,
enterprise application integration platforms, business process management,
business activity monitoring and business intelligence applications and
enterprise portal server software. Our direct sales force works in tandem with
the sales and marketing groups of our partners to identify potential new clients
and projects. Our partnerships with these companies enable us to reduce our
cost
of sales and sales cycle times and increase win rates by leveraging our
partners' marketing efforts and endorsements. In particular, the IBM software
sales channel provides us with significant sales lead flow and joint selling
opportunities.
As
we
continue to grow our business, we intend to highlight our thought leadership
in
eBusiness solutions and infrastructure software technology platforms. Our
efforts will include technology white papers, by-lined articles by our
colleagues in technology and trade publications, media and industry analyst
events, sponsorship of and participation in targeted industry conferences and
trade shows.
Clients
During
the year ended December 31, 2006, we provided services to more
than 385 customers. No one customer provided more than 10% of our total
revenues in 2006 or 2005. For the year ended December 31, 2004, IBM supplied
17%
of our total revenues. No other customer provided more than 10% of our total
revenues in 2004.

Competition
The
market for the information technology consulting services we provide is
competitive and has low barriers to entry. We believe that our competitors
fall
into several categories, including:
|
§
|
small
local consulting firms that operate in no more than one or two
geographic
regions;
|
|
§
|
regional
consulting firms such as Software Architects, Inc., Haverstick Consulting,
Inc. and Quilogy, Inc.;
|
|
§
|
national
consulting firms, such as Answerthink, Inc., Accenture, BearingPoint,
Inc., Ciber, Inc., Electronic Data Systems Corporation and Sapient
Corporation;
|
|
§
|
in-house
professional services organizations of software companies;
and
|
|
§
|
to
a limited extent, offshore providers such as Cognizant Technology
Solutions Corporation, Infosys Technologies Limited, Satyam Computer
Services Limited and Wipro Limited.
|
We
believe that the principal competitive factors affecting our market include
domain expertise, track record and customer references, quality of proposed
solutions, service quality and performance, reliability, scalability and
features of the software platforms upon which the solutions are based, and
the
ability to implement solutions quickly and respond on a timely basis to customer
needs. In addition, because of the relatively low barriers to entry into this
market, we expect to face additional competition from new entrants. We expect
competition from offshore outsourcing and development companies to increase
in
the future.
Some
of
our competitors have longer operating histories, larger client bases and greater
name recognition and possess significantly greater financial, technical and
marketing resources than we do. As a result, these competitors may be better
able to attract customers to which we market our services and adapt more quickly
to new technologies or evolving customer or industry requirements.
Employees
As
of
December 31, 2006, we had 972 employees, 853 of which were billable
professionals, including 198 subcontractors, and 119 of which were involved
in
sales, general administration and marketing. Our employees are not represented
by a collective bargaining agreement and we have never experienced a strike
or
similar work stoppage. We consider our relations with our employees to be
good.
Recruiting.
We are
dedicated to hiring, developing and retaining experienced, motivated technology
professionals who combine a depth of understanding of current Internet and
legacy technologies with the ability to implement complex and cutting-edge
solutions.
Our
recruiting efforts are an important element of our continuing operations and
future growth. We generally target technology professionals with extensive
experience and demonstrated expertise. To attract technology professionals,
we
use a broad range of sources including on-staff recruiters, outside recruiting
firms, internal referrals, other technology companies and technical
associations, the Internet and advertising in technical periodicals. After
initially identifying qualified candidates, we conduct an extensive screening
and interview process.
Retention.
We
believe that our rapid growth, focus on a core set of eBusiness solutions,
applications and software platforms and our commitment to career development
through continued training and advancement opportunities make us an attractive
career choice for experienced professionals. Because our strategic partners
are
established and emerging market leaders, our technology professionals have
an
opportunity to work with cutting-edge information technology. We foster
professional development by training our technology professionals in the skills
critical to successful consulting engagements such as implementation methodology
and project management. We believe in promoting from within whenever possible.
In addition to an annual review process that identifies near-term and
longer-term career goals, we make a professional development plan available
to
assist our professionals with assessing their skills and developing a detailed
action plan for guiding their career development. For the year ended December
31, 2006, our voluntary attrition rate was approximately 19%, which we believe
is well below the industry average.
Training.
To
ensure continued development of our technical staff, we place a high priority
on
training. We offer extensive training for our professionals around
industry-leading technologies. We utilize our education practice and
IBM-certified advanced training facility in Chicago, Illinois to provide
continuing education and professional development opportunities for our
colleagues.
Compensation.
Our
employees have a compensation model that includes a base salary and an incentive
compensation component. Our tiered incentive compensation plans help us reach
our overall goals by rewarding individuals for their influence on key
performance factors. Key performance metrics include client satisfaction,
revenues generated, utilization, profit and personal skills growth.
7
Leadership
Councils.
Our
technology leadership council performs a critical role in maintaining our
technology leadership. Consisting of key employees from each of our practice
areas, the council frames our new strategic partner strategies and conducts
regular Internet webcasts with our technology professionals on specific partner
and general technology issues and trends. The council also coordinates thought
leadership activities, including white paper authorship and publication and
speaking engagements by our professionals. Finally, the council identifies
services opportunities between and among our strategic partners' products,
oversees our quality assurance programs and assists in acquisition-related
technology due diligence.
Culture
The
Perficient Promise.
We have
developed the “Perficient Promise,” which consists of the following six simple
commitments our colleagues make to each other:
|
§
|
we
believe in long-term client and partner relationships built on investment
in innovative solutions, delivering more value than the competition
and a
commitment to excellence;
|
|
§
|
we
believe in growth and profitability and building meaningful
scale;
|
|
§
|
we
believe each of us is ultimately responsible for our own career
development and has a commitment to mentor
others;
|
|
§
|
we
believe that Perficient has an obligation to invest in our consultants'
training and education;
|
|
§
|
we
believe the best career development comes on the job;
and
|
|
§
|
we
love challenging new work
opportunities.
|
We
take
these commitments extremely seriously because we believe that we can succeed
only if the Perficient Promise is kept.
Knowledge
Management
MyPerficient.com--The
Corporate Portal.
To
ensure easy access to a wide range of information and tools, we have created
a
corporate portal, MyPerficient.com. It is a secure, centralized communications
tool. It allows each of our colleagues unlimited access to information,
productivity tools, time and expense entry, benefits administration, corporate
policies and forms and quality management information directories and
documentation.
Professional
Services Automation Technology.
We
recently completed the implementation of a Professional Services application
as
the enabling technology for many of our business processes, including knowledge
management. We possess and continue to aggregate significant knowledge including
marketing collateral, solution proposals, work product and client deliverables.
Primavera's technology allows us to store this knowledge in a logical manner
and
provides full-text search capability allowing our colleagues to deliver
solutions more efficiently and competitively.

Item
1A. Risk Factors.
You
should carefully consider the following risk factors together with the other
information contained in or incorporated by reference into this annual report
before you decide to buy our common stock. If any of these risks actually occur,
our business, financial condition, operating results or cash flows could be
materially and adversely affected. This could cause the trading price of our
common stock to decline and you may lose part or all of your
investment.
Risks
Related to Our Business
Prolonged
economic weakness in the Internet software and services market could adversely
affect our business, financial condition and results of
operations.
The
market for middleware and Internet software and services has changed rapidly
over the last eight years. The market for middleware and Internet software
and
services expanded dramatically during 1999 and most of 2000, but declined
significantly in 2001 and 2002. Market demand for Internet software and services
began to stabilize and improve from 2003 to 2006, but this trend may not
continue. Our future growth is dependent upon the demand for Internet software
and services, and, in particular, the information technology consulting services
we provide. Demand and market acceptance for middleware and Internet services
are subject to a high level of uncertainty. Prolonged weakness in the middleware
and Internet software and services industry has caused in the past, and may
cause in the future, business enterprises to delay or cancel information
technology projects, reduce their overall budgets and/or reduce or cancel orders
for our services. This, in turn, may lead to longer sales cycles, delays in
purchase decisions, payment and collection, and may also result in price
pressures, causing us to realize lower revenues and operating margins. If
companies cancel or delay their business and technology initiatives or choose
to
move these initiatives in-house, our business, financial condition and results
of operations could be materially and adversely affected.
Pursuing
and completing potential acquisitions could divert management's attention and
financial resources and may not produce the desired business
results.
If
we pursue any acquisition, our management could spend a significant amount
of
time and financial resources to pursue and integrate the acquired business
with
our existing business. To pay for an acquisition, we might use capital stock,
cash or a combination of both. Alternatively, we may borrow money from a bank
or
other lender. If we use capital stock, our stockholders will experience
dilution. If we use cash or debt financing, our financial liquidity may be
reduced and the interest on any debt financing could adversely affect our
results of operations. From an accounting perspective, an acquisition may
involve amortization or the write-off of significant amounts of intangible
assets that could adversely affect our results of operations.
Despite
the investment of these management and financial resources, and completion
of
due diligence with respect to these efforts, an acquisition may not produce
the
anticipated revenues, earnings or business synergies for a variety of reasons,
including:
|
·
|
difficulties
in the integration of services and personnel of the acquired
business;
|
|
·
|
the
failure of management and acquired services personnel to perform
as
expected;
|
|
·
|
the
risks of entering markets in which we have no, or limited, prior
experience;
|
|
·
|
the
failure to identify or adequately assess any undisclosed or potential
liabilities or problems of the acquired business including legal
liabilities;
|
|
·
|
the
failure of the acquired business to achieve the forecasts we used
to
determine the purchase price; or
|
|
·
|
the
potential loss of key personnel of the acquired
business.
|
These
difficulties could disrupt our ongoing business, distract our management and
colleagues, increase our expenses and materially and adversely affect our
results of operations.
If
we do not effectively manage our growth, our results of operations and cash
flows could be adversely affected.
Our
ability to operate profitably with positive cash flows depends partially on
how
effectively we manage our growth. In order to create the additional capacity
necessary to accommodate the demand for our services, we may need to implement
a
variety of new and upgraded operational and financial systems, procedures and
controls, open new offices and hire additional colleagues. Implementation of
these new systems, procedures and controls may require substantial management
efforts and our efforts to do so may not be successful. The opening of new
offices or the hiring of additional colleagues may result in idle or
underutilized capacity. We periodically assess the expected long-term capacity
utilization of our offices and professionals. We may not be able to achieve
or
maintain optimal utilization of our offices and professionals. If demand for
our
services does not meet our expectations, our revenues and cash flows will not
be
sufficient to offset these expenses and our results of operations and cash
flows
could be adversely affected.
9
We
may not be able to attract and retain information technology consulting
professionals, which could affect our ability to compete
effectively.
Our
business is labor intensive. Accordingly, our success depends in large part
upon
our ability to attract, train, retain, motivate, manage and effectively utilize
highly skilled information technology consulting professionals. Additionally,
our technology professionals are primarily at-will employees. We also use
independent subcontractors where appropriate. Failure to retain highly skilled
technology professionals would impair our ability to adequately manage staff
and
implement our existing projects and to bid for or obtain new projects, which
in
turn would adversely affect our operating results.
Our
success will depend on attracting and retaining senior management and key
personnel.
Our
industry is highly specialized and the competition for qualified management
and
key personnel is intense. We expect this to remain so for the foreseeable
future. We believe that our success will depend on retaining our senior
management team and key technical and business consulting personnel. Retention
is particularly important in our business as personal relationships are a
critical element of obtaining and maintaining strong relationships with our
clients. In addition, as we rapidly grow our business, our need for senior
experienced management and delivery personnel increases substantially. If a
significant number of these individuals stop working for us, or if we are unable
to attract top talent, our level of management, technical, marketing and sales
expertise could diminish or otherwise be insufficient for our growth. We may
be
unable to achieve our revenues and operating performance objectives unless
we
can attract and retain technically qualified and highly skilled sales,
technical, business consulting, marketing and management personnel. These
individuals would be difficult to replace, and losing them could seriously
harm
our business.
We
may have difficulty in identifying and competing for strategic acquisition
and
partnership opportunities.
Our
business strategy includes the pursuit of strategic acquisitions. We may acquire
or make strategic investments in complementary businesses, technologies,
services or products, or enter into strategic partnerships or alliances with
third parties in the future in order to expand our business. We may be unable
to
identify suitable acquisition, strategic investment or strategic partnership
candidates, or if we do identify suitable candidates, we may not complete those
transactions on terms commercially favorable to us, or at all. If we fail to
identify and successfully complete these transactions, our competitive position
and our growth prospects could be adversely affected. In addition, we may face
competition from other companies with significantly greater resources for
acquisition candidates, making it more difficult for us to acquire suitable
companies on favorable terms.
The
market for the information technology consulting services we provide is
competitive, has low barriers to entry and is becoming increasingly
consolidated, which may adversely affect our market
position.
The
market for the information technology consulting services we provide is
competitive, rapidly evolving and subject to rapid technological change. In
addition, there are relatively low barriers to entry into this market and
therefore new entrants may compete with us in the future. For example, due
to
the rapid changes and volatility in our market, many well-capitalized companies,
including some of our partners, that have focused on sectors of the Internet
software and services industry that are not competitive with our business may
refocus their activities and deploy their resources to be competitive with
us.
An
increasing amount of information technology services are being provided by
lower-cost non-domestic resources. The increased utilization of these resources
for US-based projects could result in lower revenues and margins for US-based
information technology companies. Our ability to compete utilizing higher-cost
domestic resources and/or our ability to procure comparably priced off-shore
resources could adversely impact our results of operations and financial
condition.
Our
future financial performance will depend, in large part, on our ability to
establish and maintain an advantageous market position. We currently compete
with regional and national information technology consulting firms, and, to
a
limited extent, offshore service providers and in-house information technology
departments. Many of the larger regional and national information technology
consulting firms have substantially longer operating histories, more established
reputations and potential partner relationships, greater financial resources,
sales and marketing organizations, market penetration and research and
development capabilities, as well as broader product offerings and greater
market presence and name recognition. We may face increasing competitive
pressures from these competitors as the market for Internet software and
services continues to grow. This may place us at a disadvantage to our
competitors, which may harm our ability to grow, maintain revenues or generate
net income.
In
recent
years, there has been substantial consolidation in our industry, and we expect
that there will be significant additional consolidation in the future. As a
result of this increasing consolidation, we expect that we will increasingly
compete with larger firms that have broader product offerings and greater
financial resources than we have. We believe that this competition could have
a
significant negative effect on our marketing, distribution and reselling
relationships, pricing of services and products and our product development
budget and capabilities. One or more of our competitors may develop and
implement methodologies that result in superior productivity and price
reductions without adversely affecting their profit margins. In addition,
competitors may win client engagements by significantly discounting their
services in exchange for a client’s promise to purchase other goods and services
from the competitor, either concurrently or in the future. These activities
may
potentially force us to lower our prices and suffer reduced operating margins.
Any of these negative effects could significantly impair our results of
operations and financial condition. We may not be able to compete successfully
against new or existing competitors.
10
Our
business will suffer if we do not keep up with rapid technological change,
evolving industry standards or changing customer
requirements.
Rapidly
changing technology, evolving industry standards and changing customer needs
are
common in the Internet software and services market. We expect technological
developments to continue at a rapid pace in our industry. Technological
developments, evolving industry standards and changing customer needs could
cause our business to be rendered obsolete or non-competitive, especially if
the
market for the core set of eBusiness solutions and software platforms in which
we have expertise does not grow or if such growth is delayed due to market
acceptance, economic uncertainty or other conditions. Accordingly, our success
will depend, in part, on our ability to:
|
·
|
continue
to develop our technology
expertise;
|
|
·
|
enhance
our current services;
|
|
·
|
develop
new services that meet changing customer
needs;
|
|
·
|
advertise
and market our services; and
|
|
·
|
influence
and respond to emerging industry standards and other technological
changes.
|
We
must
accomplish all of these tasks in a timely and cost-effective manner. We might
not succeed in effectively doing any of these tasks, and our failure to succeed
could have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition
or
results of operations, including materially reducing our revenues and operating
results.
We
may
also incur substantial costs to keep up with changes surrounding the Internet.
Unresolved critical issues concerning the commercial use and government
regulation of the Internet include the following:
|
·
|
security;
|
|
·
|
intellectual
property ownership;
|
|
·
|
privacy;
|
|
·
|
taxation;
and
|
|
·
|
liability
issues.
|
Any
costs
we incur because of these factors could materially and adversely affect our
business, financial condition and results of operations, including reduced
net
income.
A
significant portion of our revenue is dependent upon building long-term
relationships with our clients and our operating results could suffer if we
fail
to maintain these relationships.
Our
professional services agreements with clients are in most cases terminable
on 10
to 30 days' notice. A client may choose at any time to use another consulting
firm or choose to perform services we provide through their own internal
resources. Accordingly, we rely on our clients' interests in maintaining the
continuity of our services rather than on contractual requirements. Termination
of a relationship with a significant client or with a group of clients that
account for a significant portion of our revenues could adversely affect our
revenues and results of operations.
If
we fail to meet our clients' performance expectations, our reputation may be
harmed.
As
a
services provider, our ability to attract and retain clients depends to a large
extent on our relationships with our clients and our reputation for high quality
services and integrity. We also believe that the importance of reputation and
name recognition is increasing and will continue to increase due to the number
of providers of information technology services. As a result, if a client is
not
satisfied with our services or does not perceive our solutions to be effective
or of high quality, our reputation may be damaged and we may be unable to
attract new, or retain existing, clients and colleagues.
11
We
may face potential liability to customers if our customers' systems
fail.
Our
eBusiness integration solutions are often critical to the operation of our
customers' businesses and provide benefits that may be difficult to quantify.
If
one of our customers' systems fails, the customer could make a claim for
substantial damages against us, regardless of our responsibility for that
failure. The limitations of liability set forth in our contracts may not be
enforceable in all instances and may not otherwise protect us from liability
for
damages. Our insurance coverage may not continue to be available on reasonable
terms or in sufficient amounts to cover one or more large claims. In addition,
a
given insurer might disclaim coverage as to any future claims. If we experience
one or more large claims against us that exceed available insurance coverage
or
result in changes in our insurance policies, including premium increases or
the
imposition of large deductible or co-insurance requirements, our business and
financial results could suffer.
The
loss of one or more of our significant software business partners would have
a
material and adverse effect on our business and results of
operations.
Our
business relationships with software vendors enable us to reduce our cost of
sales and increase win rates through leveraging our partners’ marketing efforts
and strong vendor endorsements. The loss of one or more of these relationships
and endorsements could increase our sales and marketing costs, lead to longer
sales cycles, harm our reputation and brand recognition, reduce our revenues
and
adversely affect our results of operations.
In
particular, a substantial portion of our solutions are built on IBM WebSphere
platforms and a significant number of our clients are identified through joint
selling opportunities conducted with IBM and through sales leads obtained from
our relationship with IBM. Revenues from IBM were approximately 8%, 9%, and
17%
of total revenues for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004,
respectively. The loss of our relationship with, or a significant reduction
in
the services we perform for IBM, would have a material adverse effect on our
business and results of operations.
Our
quarterly operating results may be volatile and may cause our stock price to
fluctuate.
Our
quarterly revenues, expenses and operating results have varied in the past
and
may vary significantly in the future. In addition, many factors affecting our
operating results are outside of our control, such as:
|
§
|
demand
for Internet software and services;
|
|
§
|
customer
budget cycles;
|
|
§
|
changes
in our customers' desire for our partners' products and our
services;
|
|
§
|
pricing
changes in our industry; and
|
|
§
|
government
regulation and legal developments regarding the use of the
Internet.
|
As
a
result, if we experience unanticipated changes in the number or nature of our
projects or in our employee utilization rates, we could experience large
variations in quarterly operating results in any particular
quarter.
Our
services revenues may fluctuate quarterly due to seasonality or timing of
completion of projects.
We
may
experience seasonal fluctuations in our services revenues. We expect that
services revenues in the fourth quarter of a given year may typically be lower
than in other quarters in that year as there are fewer billable days in this
quarter as a result of vacations and holidays. In addition, we generally perform
services on a project basis. While we seek wherever possible to counterbalance
periodic declines in revenues on completion of large projects with new
arrangements to provide services to the same client or others, we may not be
able to avoid declines in revenues when large projects are completed. Our
inability to obtain sufficient new projects to counterbalance any decreases
in
work upon completion of large projects could adversely affect our revenues
and
results of operations.
Our
software revenues may fluctuate quarterly, leading to volatility in our results
of operations.
Our
software revenues may fluctuate quarterly and be higher in the fourth quarter
of
a given year as procurement policies of our clients may result in higher
technology spending towards the end of budget cycles. This seasonal trend may
materially affect our quarter-to-quarter revenues, margins and operating
results.
12
Our
overall gross margin fluctuates quarterly based on our services and software
revenues mix, impacting our results of operations.
The
gross
margin on our services revenues is, in most instances, greater than the gross
margin on our software revenues. As a result, our gross margin will be higher
in
quarters where our services revenues, as a percentage of total revenues, has
increased, and will be lower in quarters where our software revenues, as a
percentage of total revenues, has increased. In addition, gross margin on
software revenues may fluctuate as a result of variances in gross margin on
individual software products. Our stock price may be negatively affected in
quarters in which our gross margin decreases.
Our
services gross margins are subject to fluctuations as a result of variances
in
utilization rates and billing rates.
Our
services gross margins are affected by trends in the utilization rate of our
professionals, defined as the percentage of our professionals' time billed
to
customers divided by the total available hours in a period, and in the billing
rates we charge our clients. Our operating expenses, including employee
salaries, rent and administrative expenses, are relatively fixed and cannot
be
reduced on short notice to compensate for unanticipated variations in the number
or size of projects in process. If a project ends earlier than scheduled, we
may
need to redeploy our project personnel. Any resulting non-billable time may
adversely affect our gross margins.
The
average billing rates for our services may decline due to rate pressures from
significant customers and other market factors, including innovations and
average billing rates charged by our competitors. Also, our average billing
rates will decline if we acquire companies with lower average billing rates
than
ours. To sell our products and services at higher prices, we must continue
to
develop and introduce new services and products that incorporate new
technologies or high-performance features. If we experience pricing pressures
or
fail to develop new services, our revenues and gross margins could decline,
which could harm our business, financial condition and results of
operations.
If
we fail to complete fixed-fee contracts within budget and on time, our results
of operations could be adversely affected.
We
perform a limited number of projects on a fixed-fee, turnkey basis, rather
than
on a time-and-materials basis. Under these contractual arrangements, we bear
the
risk of cost overruns, completion delays, wage inflation and other cost
increases. If we fail to estimate accurately the resources and time required
to
complete a project or fail to complete our contractual obligations within the
scheduled timeframe, our results of operations could be adversely affected.
We
cannot guarantee that in the future we will not price these contracts
inappropriately, which may result in losses.
We
may not be able to maintain our level of profitability.
Although
we have been profitable for the past three years, we may not be able to sustain
or increase profitability on a quarterly or annual basis in the future. We
cannot guarantee future operating results. In future quarters, our operating
results may not meet public market analysts' and investors' expectations. If
this occurs, the price of our common stock will likely fall.
We
have recorded deferred offering costs in connection with a shelf registration
statement, and our inability to offset these costs against the proceeds of
future offerings from our shelf registration statement could result in a
non-cash expense in our Statement of Income in a future
period.
We
initially filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on March 7, 2005 to register the offer and sale by the Company
and certain selling stockholders of shares of our common stock. Due to overall
market conditions during the second quarter 2006, we converted our registration
statement into a shelf registration statement to allow for offers and sales
of
common stock from time to time as market conditions permit. As of December
31,
2006, we have recorded approximately $943,000 of deferred offering costs
(approximately $579,000 after tax, if ever expensed) in connection with the
offering and have classified these costs as prepaid expenses in other
non-current assets on our balance sheet.
If
we
sell shares of common stock from our shelf registration statement, we will
offset these accumulated deferred offering costs against the proceeds of the
offering. If we do not raise funds through an equity offering from the shelf
registration statement or fail to maintain the effectiveness of the shelf
registration statement, the currently capitalized deferred offering costs will
be expensed. Such expense would be a non-cash accounting charge as all of these
expenses have already been paid.
Risks
Related to Ownership of Our Common Stock
Our
stock price has been volatile and may continue to fluctuate
widely.
Our
common stock is traded on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol
“PRFT.” Our common stock price has been volatile. Our stock price may continue
to fluctuate widely as a result of the limited trading volume, announcements
of
new services and products by us or our competitors, quarterly variations in
operating results, the gain or loss of significant customers, changes in public
market analysts' estimates and market conditions for information technology
consulting firms and other technology stocks in general.
13
We
periodically review and consider possible acquisitions of companies that we
believe will contribute to our long-term objectives. In addition, depending
on
market conditions, liquidity requirements and other factors, from time to time
we consider accessing the capital markets. These events may also affect the
market price of our common stock.
Our
officers, directors, and 5% and greater stockholders own a large percentage
of
our voting securities and their interests may differ from other
stockholders.
Our
executive officers, directors and existing 5% and greater stockholders
beneficially own or control approximately 13%
of
the voting power of our common stock. This concentration of voting power of
our
common stock may make it difficult for our other stockholders to successfully
approve or defeat matters that may be submitted for action by our stockholders.
It may also have the effect of delaying, deterring or preventing a change in
control of our company.
We
may need additional capital in the future, which may not be available to us.
The
raising of any additional capital may dilute your ownership percentage in our
stock.
We
intend
to continue to make investments to support our business growth and may require
additional funds to pursue business opportunities and respond to business
challenges. Accordingly, we may need to engage in equity or debt financings
to
secure additional funds. If we raise additional funds through further issuances
of equity or convertible debt securities, our existing stockholders could suffer
dilution, and any new equity securities we issue could have rights, preferences
and privileges superior to those of holders of our common stock. Any debt
financing secured by us in the future could involve restrictive covenants
relating to our capital raising activities and other financial and operational
matters, which may make it more difficult for us to obtain additional capital
and to pursue business opportunities, including potential acquisitions. In
addition, we may not be able to obtain additional financing on terms favorable
to us, if at all. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing or financing
on
terms satisfactory to us, when we require it, our ability to continue to support
our business growth and to respond to business challenges could be significantly
limited.
It
may be difficult for another company to acquire us, and this could depress
our
stock price.
In
addition to the large percentage of our voting securities held by our officers,
directors and 5% and greater stockholders, provisions contained in our
certificate of incorporation, bylaws and Delaware law could make it difficult
for a third party to acquire us, even if doing so would be beneficial to our
stockholders. Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws may discourage, delay
or prevent a merger or acquisition that a stockholder may consider favorable
by
authorizing the issuance of “blank check” preferred stock. In addition,
provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law also restrict some business
combinations with interested stockholders. These provisions are intended to
encourage potential acquirers to negotiate with us and allow the board of
directors the opportunity to consider alternative proposals in the interest
of
maximizing stockholder value. However, these provisions may also discourage
acquisition proposals or delay or prevent a change in control, which could
harm
our stock price.

SPECIAL
NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Some
of
the statements contained in this annual report that are not purely historical
statements discuss future expectations, contain projections of results of
operations or financial condition or state other forward-looking information.
Those statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and
other
factors that could cause the actual results to differ materially from those
contemplated by the statements. The “forward-looking” information is based on
various factors and was derived using numerous assumptions. In some cases,
you
can identify these so-called forward-looking statements by words like “may,”
“will,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,”
“predicts,” “potential” or “continue” or the negative of those words and other
comparable words. You should be aware that those statements only reflect our
predictions. Actual events or results may differ substantially. Important
factors that could cause our actual results to be materially different from
the
forward-looking statements are disclosed under the heading “Risk Factors” in
this annual report.
Although
we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements
are
reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance
or achievements. We are under no duty to update any of the forward-looking
statements after the date of this annual report to conform such statements

Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations.
|
You
should read the following summary together with the more detailed business
information and consolidated financial statements and related notes that appear
elsewhere in this annual report and in the documents that we incorporate by
reference into this annual report. This annual report may contain certain
“forward-looking” information within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. This information involves risks and
uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from the results
discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such
a
difference include, but are not limited to, those discussed in “Risk
Factors.”
Overview
We
are an
information technology consulting firm serving Global 2000 and large enterprise
companies throughout the United States and Canada. We help clients gain
competitive advantage by using Internet-based technologies to make their
businesses more responsive to market opportunities and threats, strengthen
relationships with customers, suppliers and partners, improve productivity
and
reduce information technology costs. Our solutions enable these benefits by
integrating, automating and extending business processes, technology
infrastructure and software applications end-to-end within an organization
and
with key partners, suppliers and customers. This provides real-time access
to
critical business applications and information and a scalable, reliable, secure
and cost-effective technology infrastructure.
Services
Revenues
Services
revenues are derived from professional services performed developing,
implementing, integrating, automating and extending business processes,
technology infrastructure and software applications. Most of our projects are
performed on a time and materials basis, and a smaller amount of revenues is
derived from projects performed on a fixed fee basis. Fixed fee engagements
represented approximately 9% of our services revenues for the year ended
December 31, 2006. For time and material projects, revenues is recognized and
billed by multiplying the number of hours our professionals expend in the
performance of the project by the established billing rates. For fixed fee
projects, revenues are generally recognized using the proportionate performance
method. Revenues on uncompleted projects are recognized on a
contract-by-contract basis in the period in which the portion of the fixed
fee
is complete. Amounts invoiced to clients in excess of revenues recognized are
classified as deferred revenues. The Company’s average bill rates increased
slightly in 2006. The Company is anticipating modest additional increases in
2007. On most projects, we are also reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses such
as airfare, lodging and meals. These reimbursements are included as a component
of revenues. The aggregate amount of reimbursed expenses will fluctuate
depending on the location of our customers, the total number of our projects
that require travel, and whether our arrangements with our clients provide
for
the reimbursement of travel and other project related expenses.
Software
Revenues
Software
revenues are derived from sales of third-party software. Revenues from sales
of
third-party software are recorded on a gross basis provided we act as a
principal in the transaction. In the event we do not meet the requirements
to be
considered a principal in the software sale transaction and act as an agent,
the
revenues are recorded on a net basis. Software revenues are expected to
fluctuate from quarter-to-quarter depending on our customers' demand for
software products.
Cost
of revenues
Cost
of
revenues consists primarily of cash and non-cash compensation and benefits
associated with our technology professionals and subcontractors. Non-cash
compensation includes stock compensation expenses arising from restricted stock
and option grants to employees. Cost of revenues also includes third-party
software costs, reimbursable expenses and other unreimbursed project related
expenses. Project related expenses will fluctuate generally depending on outside
factors including the cost and frequency of travel and the location of our
customers. Cost of revenues does not include depreciation of assets used in
the
production of revenues.
Gross
Margins
Our
gross
margins for services are affected by the utilization rates of our professionals,
defined as the percentage of our professionals' time billed to customers divided
by the total available hours in the respective period, the salaries we pay
our
consulting professionals and the average billing rate we receive from our
customers. If a project ends earlier than scheduled or we retain professionals
in advance of receiving project assignments, or if demand for our services
declines, our utilization rate will decline and adversely affect our gross
margins. Subject to fluctuations resulting from our acquisitions, we expect
these key metrics of our services business to remain relatively constant for
the
foreseeable future assuming there are no further declines in the demand for
information technology software and services. Gross margin percentages of third
party software sales are typically lower than gross margin percentages for
services and the mix of services and software for a particular period can
significantly impact total combined gross margin percentage for such period.
In
addition, gross margin for software sales can fluctuate due to pricing and
other
competitive pressures.
18
Selling,
General and Administrative Expenses
Selling,
general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) consist of salaries, bonuses,
non-cash compensation, office costs, recruiting, professional fees, sales and
marketing activities, training, and other miscellaneous expenses. Non-cash
compensation includes stock compensation expenses related to restricted stock
and option grants to employees and non-employee directors. We work to minimize
selling costs by focusing on repeat business with existing customers and by
accessing sales leads generated by our software business partners, most notably
IBM, whose products we use to design and implement solutions for our clients.
These partnerships enable us to reduce our selling costs and sales cycle times
and increase win rates through leveraging our partners' marketing efforts and
endorsements. A substantial portion of our SG&A costs are relatively fixed.
As a result, we expect SG&A costs as a percentage of revenue to decline as
we continue to increase revenues in 2007.
Plans
for Growth and Acquisitions
Our
goal
is to continue to build one of the leading independent information technology
consulting firms in North America by expanding our relationships with existing
and new clients, leveraging our operations to expand nationally and continuing
to make disciplined acquisitions. We believe the United States represents an
attractive market for growth, primarily through acquisitions. As demand for
our
services grows, we believe we will attempt to increase the number of
professionals in our 15 North American offices and to add new offices throughout
the United States, both organically and through acquisitions. In addition,
we
believe our track record for identifying acquisitions and our ability to
integrate acquired businesses helps us complete acquisitions efficiently and
productively, while continuing to offer quality services to our clients,
including new clients resulting from the acquisitions.
Consistent
with our strategy of growth through disciplined acquisitions, we consummated
six
acquisitions since January 1, 2005, including one in February 2007.

Year
Ended December 31, 2006 Compared to Year Ended December 31,
2005
Revenues.
Total
revenues increased 66% to $160.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2006
from $97.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. Services revenues
increased 65% to $137.7 million in 2006 from $83.7 million in 2005. These
increases were attributable to increased demand for the Company's services
and
to the acquisitions of Bay Street Solutions Inc. (“Bay Street”), Insolexen Corp.
(“Insolexen”), and the Energy, Government and General Business (“EGG”) division
of Digital Consulting & Software Services, Inc. in 2006 and the full year
impact of the acquisitions of iPath and Vivare in 2005. Services revenue
increased 23% due to organic services revenue growth for the year ended December
31, 2006 compared to 14% for the year ended December 31, 2005. The Company
calculates organic services revenue growth by measuring the trailing four
quarters sequential quarterly services revenue growth for businesses that have
been owned for at least two quarters.
Additionally,
the increase in services revenues resulted from increases in the number of
projects. The average utilization rate of our professionals, excluding
subcontractors, remained consistent at 83% for the years ended December 31,
2006
and 2005. The Company believes utilization rates will be similar in 2007.
Software revenues increased 54% to $14.4 million in 2006 from $9.4 million
in
2004 mainly due to acquisitions and corresponding services revenue growth.
Reimbursable expenses increased 127% to $8.8 million in 2006 from $3.9 million
in 2005 due to acquisitions and an increased number of projects requiring
consultant travel. We do not realize any profit on reimbursable
expenses.
Cost
of revenues.
Cost of
revenues increased 66% to $107.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2006
from $64.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. The increase in cost
of
revenues is attributable to an increase in the number of professionals as a
result of organic growth in addition to the acquisitions of Bay Street,
Insolexen, and EGG, an increase in bonus costs associated with strong operating
performance, and stock compensation expense. The average number of professionals
performing services, including subcontractors, increased to 686 for the year
ended December 31, 2006 from 431 for the year ended December 31, 2005. Stock
compensation expense included in cost of revenues for the year ended December
31, 2006 was nearly $1 million. No stock compensation expense was recognized
in
cost of revenues prior to January 1, 2006. The increase in stock compensation
expense is the result of our adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 123 (revised) (“SFAS 123R”), Share
Based Payment,
on
January 1, 2006. Costs associated with software sales increased 57% to $12.1
million in 2006 from $7.7 million in 2005 in connection with the increased
software revenues in 2006 compared to 2005.
Gross
Margin.
Gross
margin increased 66% to $53.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2006
from
$32.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. Gross margin as a percentage
of revenues remained consistent at 33.4% for the years ended December 31, 2006
and 2005. Services gross margin increased to 37.4% in 2006 from 36.7% in 2005
primarily due to an
increase in average billing rates and improved project pricing.
This
increase was partially offset by $1 million of non-cash stock compensation
expense recognized in cost of revenues during the year ended December 31, 2006,
as discussed above. Excluding stock compensation expense, gross margin increased
to 34% for the year ended December 31, 2006 from 33% for the year ended December
31, 2005. Software gross margin decreased to 16.1% in 2006 from 17.7% in 2005
primarily as a result of fluctuations in selling prices to customers due to
fluctuations in vendor pricing based on market conditions at the time of the
sales.
Selling,
General and Administrative.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 80% to $32.3 million
for
the year ended December 31, 2006 from $17.9 million for the year ended December
31, 2005 due primarily to an increase in bonus costs associated with strong
operating performance of $3.5 million. We also experienced increases in sales
related costs of $3.2 million, management personnel, support personnel and
facilities related to our investment in our infrastructure, including
improvements related to Sarbanes-Oxley of $2.3 million. The acquisitions of
Bay
Street, Insolexen, and EGG during 2006 also contributed to the increase. Stock
compensation expense included in selling, general and administrative expenses
for the year ended December 31, 2006 was $2.1 million compared to $264,000
for
the year ended December 31, 2005. The increase in stock compensation expense
is
the result of our adoption of SFAS 123R on January 1, 2006. Selling, general
and
administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues, excluding stock
compensation, increased to 19% for the year ended December 31, 2006 from 18%
for
the year ended December 31, 2005 due primarily to higher bonus and recruiting,
partially offset by lower office costs, salaries, and professional fees. Stock
compensation expense, as a percentage of services revenues, increased to 1.6%
for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to 0.3% for the year ended
December 31, 2005.
20
Depreciation.
Depreciation expense increased 54% to $948,000 during 2006 from approximately
$615,000 during 2005. The increase in depreciation expense is due to the
addition of software programs, servers, and other computer equipment to enhance
our technology infrastructure and support our growth, both organic and
acquisition-related. Depreciation expense as a percentage of total revenues
was
0.6% for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005.
Intangibles
Amortization.
Intangibles amortization expenses increased 115% to $3.5 million for the year
ended December 31, 2006 from approximately $1.6 million for the year ended
December 31, 2005. The increase in amortization expense reflects the acquisition
of intangibles acquired from Bay Street, Insolexen, and EGG and full year
amortization of intangible assets acquired for iPath and Vivare.
Interest
Expense.
Interest expense decreased 23% to $509,000 for the year ended December 31,
2006
compared to approximately $658,000 during the year ended December 31, 2005.
This
decrease is primarily due to a lower average amount of debt outstanding during
2006 compared to 2005. As of December 31, 2006, there was approximately $1.3
million outstanding on the acquisition line of credit and no amounts outstanding
on the accounts receivable line of credit. Our outstanding borrowings on the
acquisition line of credit had an average interest rate of 7.0% for the year
ended December 31, 2006 while the average interest rate on our accounts
receivable line of credit borrowings for the year ended December 31, 2006 was
7.96%. During 2006, we drew down $34.9 million on the accounts receivable line
of credit and repaid $38.9 million.
Provision
for Income Taxes.
We
accrue a provision for federal, state and foreign income tax at the applicable
statutory rates adjusted for non-deductible expenses. Our effective tax rate
increased to 43.2% for the year ended December 31, 2006 from 38.5% for the
year
ended December 31, 2005 as a result of non-deductible stock compensation related
to incentive stock options included in our statement of operations in 2006
as a
result of the adoption of SFAS 123R on January 1, 2006 and certain
non-deductible compensation required by Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue
Code, which imposes a limitation on the deductibility of certain compensation
in
excess of $1 million paid to covered employees .
21
Year
Ended December 31, 2005 Compared to Year Ended December 31,
2004
Revenues.
Total
revenues increased 65% to $97.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2005
from $58.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2004. Services revenues
increased 93% to $83.7 million in 2005 from $43.3 million in 2004. These
increases were attributable to increased demand for the Company's services
and
to the acquisitions of iPath Solutions, Ltd. (“iPath”) and Vivare, LP (“Vivare”)
in 2005 and the full year impact of the acquisitions of Genisys Consulting,
Inc.
(“Genisys”), Meritage Technologies, Inc. (“Meritage”) and ZettaWorks LLC
(“Zettaworks”) in 2004.
Additionally,
the increase in services revenues resulted from increases in average project
size and quantity of projects. The average utilization rate of our
professionals, excluding subcontractors, remained relatively stable at 83%
for
the year ended December 31, 2005. For the years ended December 31, 2005 and
2004, 9% and 17%, respectively, of our revenues was derived from sales to IBM.
While the dollar amount of revenues from IBM has remained relatively constant
over the past two years, the percentage of total revenues from IBM has decreased
as a result of the Company's growth and corresponding customer diversification.
Software revenues decreased 29% to $9.4 million in 2005 from $13.2 million
in
2004 due to lower client demand in the fourth quarter of 2005 compared to 2004.
Software revenues are generated from the sale of third party software except
for
approximately $282,000 from the sale of internally developed software recognized
in 2005. Reimbursable expenses increased 65% to $3.9 million in 2005 from $2.3
million in 2004.
Cost
of revenues.
Cost of
revenues increased 61% to $64.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2005
from $40.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2004. The increase in cost
of
revenues is attributable to an increase in the number of professionals due
to
hiring and the acquisitions of ZettaWorks, iPath, and Vivare. The average number
of professionals performing services, including subcontractors, increased to
431
for the year ended December 31, 2005 from 220 for the year ended December 31,
2004. In addition, the Company changed its internal policy for the carry-over
of
billable employee's accrued vacation hours which we had allowed as of December
31, 2004, but discontinued this policy and allowed no more vacation hour
carry-overs as of December 31, 2005. As a result, the Company had approximately
$237,000 of billable employee's accrued vacation expense as of December 31,
2004
which was forfeited during 2005. Costs associated with software sales decreased
32% to $7.7 million in 2005 from $11.3 million in 2004 in connection with the
decreased software revenues in 2005 compared to 2004.
Gross
Margin.
Gross
margin increased 72% to $32.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2005
from
$18.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2004. Gross margin as a percentage
of total revenues increased to 33.4% in 2005 from 32.0% in 2004. The increase
in
gross margin as a percentage of total revenues is due to a mix of improved
software margins off-set by lower services margins. Services gross margin
decreased slightly to 36.7% in 2005 from 39.2% in 2004 primarily due to lower
gross margins on consulting services contracts acquired in the acquisitions
of
ZettaWorks and iPath. These businesses are national practices rather than local
practices and, as a result, they incur a greater amount of unreimbursed travel
expenses for delivery of services outside of their local geographic market.
Unreimbursed expenses negatively impact our services gross margins. Services
gross margins have also been impacted by the acquisition of Vivare which has
slightly lower services gross margins than our historical average. Software
gross margin increased to 17.7% in 2005 from 13.9% in 2004 primarily as a result
of fluctuations in selling prices to customers based on fluctuations in vendor
pricing based on market conditions at the time of the sales and from the sale
of
internally developed software representing software revenues of approximately
$282,000 for which there was no associated cost of revenues.
Selling,
General and Administrative.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 62% to $17.9 million
for
the year ended December 31, 2005 from $11.1 million for the year ended December
31, 2004 due primarily to increases in the cost of compliance with the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, professional service fees associated with external
audits, and additions of sales personnel, management personnel, support
personnel and facilities related to the acquisitions of iPath and Vivare in
2005
and the full year impact of the acquisitions of Genisys, Meritage and Zettaworks
in 2004. However, selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage
of total revenues decreased to 18.5% for the year ended December 31, 2005 from
18.8% for the year ended December 31, 2004. The decrease in selling, general
and
administrative expenses as a percentage of services revenues is the result
of
operational efficiencies and economies of scale as the Company has grown.
However, these cost efficiencies have been off-set by the cost of compliance
with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and regular external audit costs which
resulted in total costs to the Company during 2005 of approximately $837,000
compared to approximately $145,000 in 2004. In addition, the Company changed
its
internal policy for the carry-over of selling, general and administrative
employee's accrued vacation hours which we had allowed as of December 31, 2004,
but discontinued this policy and allowed no more vacation hour carry-overs
as of
December 31, 2005. As a result, the Company had approximately $48,000 of
selling, general and administrative employee's accrued vacation expense as
of
December 31, 2004 which was forfeited during 2005. Also, during 2005, the
Company reduced its allowance for doubtful accounts by approximately $104,000
as
a result of improved collections on accounts receivable. Finally, during 2005,
the Company realized approximately $300,000 in reduced organizational meeting
expenses as compared to 2004.
Depreciation.
Depreciation expense increased 20% to approximately $615,000 during 2005 from
approximately $512,000 during 2004. The increase is due to a general increase
in
purchases of fixed assets to accommodate growth.
Intangibles
Amortization.
Intangibles amortization expenses, arising from acquisitions, increased 131%
to
approximately $1.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2005 from
approximately $0.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2004. The increase
in
amortization expense is the result of increased acquisition
activity.
22
Interest
Expense.
Interest expense increased 380% to approximately $659,000 for the year ended
December 31, 2005 compared to approximately $137,000 during the year ended
December 31, 2004. This increase in interest expense is due to the interest
expense related to the acquisition line of credit which was drawn down in
connection with the acquisitions of Meritage in June 2004 and ZettaWorks in
December 2004, and on draws on the accounts receivable line of credit in
connection with the acquisitions of iPath and Vivare. As of December 31, 2005,
there was approximately $2.7 million outstanding on the acquisition line of
credit and approximately $4.0 million outstanding on the accounts receivable
line of credit. During 2005, we drew down $12 million on the accounts receivable
line of credit and repaid $8 million.
Provision
for Income Taxes.
We
accrue a provision for federal, state and foreign income tax at the applicable
statutory rates adjusted for non-deductible expenses. Our effective tax rate
decreased slightly to 38.5% for the year ended December 31, 2005 from 39.2%
for
the year ended December 31, 2004 as a result of a decrease in certain
non-deductible expenses. We had deferred tax assets resulting from net operating
and capital losses of acquired companies amounting to approximately $2.8 million
for which we had a valuation allowance of approximately $2.3 million. We had
additional deferred tax assets of approximately $0.4 million from temporary
differences between book and tax valuations. These combined deferred tax assets
of $0.9 million were off-set by deferred tax liabilities of $0.7 million related
to identifiable intangibles, goodwill, and cash to accrual adjustments. Any
reversal of the valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets will be adjusted
against goodwill and will not have an impact on our statement of operations.
All
of the net operating and capital losses relate to acquired entities, and as
such
are subject to annual limitations on usage under the “change in control”
provisions of the Internal Revenues Code.

Net
Cash Provided By Operating Activities
We
expect
to fund our operations from cash generated from operations and short-term
borrowings as necessary from our credit facility. We believe that these capital
resources will be sufficient to meet our needs for at least the next twelve
months. Net cash generated by operations for the year ended December 31, 2006
was $9.6 million compared to $7.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2005.
The primary components of operating cash flows for the year ended December
31,
2006 were net
income after adding back non-cash expenses of $17.1 million offset by increases
to accounts receivable of $5.8 million and decreases to other liabilities of
$2.8 million. The increase in operating cash flow is due primarily to an
increase in non-cash stock compensation of $2.9 million and intangibles
amortization of $1.8 million. The increase in accounts receivable is primarily
related to acquisitions. No significant changes occurred in the average
days sales outstanding.
Net
Cash Used in Investing Activities
For
the
year ended December 31, 2006, we used approximately $13.7 million in cash,
net
of cash acquired, to acquire Bay Street, Insolexen, and EGG. In addition, we
used approximately $1.5 million during 2006 to purchase equipment fixed assets
and used approximately $136,000 for software capitalized for internal use to
expand our information management systems. For the year ended December 31,
2005,
we used approximately $9.7 million in cash, net of cash acquired, to acquire
iPath and Vivare. In addition, during 2005 we used approximately $691,000 to
purchase equipment fixed assets and used approximately $599,000 for software
capitalized for internal use to expand our information management
systems.
Net
Cash From Financing Activities
Our
financing activities consisted primarily of net payments totaling $4.0 million
on our accounts receivable line of credit and $1.3 million of payments on long
term debt. During 2006, we received $4.2 million from exercises of stock options
and warrants and sales of stock through the Company’s Employee Stock Purchase
Program. In addition, we realized tax benefits on stock option exercises of
$6.6
million during 2006. Prior
to
the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R (As
Amended), Share Based Payment (“SFAS 123R”) in 2006, the tax benefit on
stock option exercises was classified as an activity in operating cash
flows.
23
Availability
of Funds from Bank Line of Credit Facilities
We
have a
$51.3 million credit facility with Silicon Valley Bank and Key Bank
National Association (“Key Bank”) comprising a $25 million accounts
receivable line of credit and a $26.3 million acquisition line of credit.
Borrowings under the accounts receivable line of credit bear interest at the
bank's prime rate, or 8.25%, as of December 31, 2006. As of
December 31, 2006, there were no amounts outstanding under the accounts
receivable line of credit and $25 million of available borrowing capacity,
excluding $450,000 reserved for two outstanding letters of credit to secure
facility leases. In January 2007, the letters of credit decreased $50,000.
This accounts receivable line of credit matures in June 2008.
Our
$26.3 million term acquisition line of credit with Silicon Valley Bank and
Key Bank provides an additional source of financing for certain qualified
acquisitions. As of December 31, 2006 the balance outstanding under this
acquisition line of credit was $1.3 million. Borrowings under this
acquisition line of credit bear interest equal to the four year U.S. Treasury
note yield plus 3% based on the spot rate on the day the draw is processed
(7.69% at December 31, 2006). Borrowings under this acquisition line are
repayable in thirty-six equal monthly installments, after the initial interest
only period which continues through June 29, 2007. Draws under this acquisition
line may be made through June 29, 2008. We currently have $25 million of
available borrowing capacity under this acquisition line of credit.
As
of
December 31, 2006, we were in compliance with all covenants under our credit
facility and we expect to be in compliance during the next twelve months.
Substantially all of our assets are pledged to secure the credit
facility.
There
were no material changes outside the ordinary course of our business in lease
obligations or other contractual obligations in 2006. We believe that the
current available funds, access to capital from our credit facilities, possible
capital from registered placements of equity through the shelf registration,
and
cash flows generated from operations will be sufficient to meet our working
capital requirements and meet our capital needs to finance acquisitions for
the
next twelve months.
We
have
filed a shelf registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission
to allow for offers and sales of our common stock from time to time.
Approximately 5 million shares of common stock may be sold under this
registration statement if we choose to do so.
Contractual
Obligations
In
connection with certain of our acquisitions, we were required to
establish various letters of credit totaling $450,000 to serve as
collateral to secure facility leases. The letters of credit reduce the
borrowings available under our accounts receivable line of credit. In January
2007, the letters of credit decreased $50,000.
In
connection with the acquisition of Javelin, we issued $1.5 million in notes,
which have been fully repaid since April 2006.
We
have
incurred commitments to make future payments under contracts such as leases
and
certain long-term liabilities. Maturities, including estimated interest, under
these contracts are set forth in the following table as of December 31, 2006

Note
9 - "Income Taxes" in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for information
related to the Company's obligations for taxes.
If
our
capital is insufficient to fund our activities in either the short or long
term,
we may need to raise additional funds. In the ordinary course of business,
we
may engage in discussions with various persons in connection with additional
financing. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity
securities, our existing stockholders' percentage ownership will be diluted.
These equity securities may also have rights superior to our common stock.
Additional debt or equity financing may not be available when needed or on
satisfactory terms. If adequate funds are not available on acceptable terms,
we
may be unable to expand our services, respond to competition, pursue acquisition
opportunities or continue our operations.
24
Subsequent
Event
On
February 20, 2007, the Company consummated the acquisition of E-Tech
Solutions. The Company paid approximately $12.2 million consisting of
approximately $6.1 million in cash and $6.1 million worth of the Company's
common stock, subject to certain post-closing adjustments. As required, we
will use the closing price of the Company's common stock at or near the close
date in reporting the value of the stock consideration paid in the acquisition,
which was $20.34. The Company issued 306,248 shares of its common stock in
connection with the acquisition.
Critical
Accounting Policies
The
Company's accounting policies are described in Note 2 to the Consolidated
Financial Statements. The Company believes its most critical accounting policies
include revenue recognition, estimating the allowance for doubtful accounts,
accounting for goodwill and intangible assets, purchase accounting allocation,
accounting for stock-based compensation, deferred income taxes and estimating
the related valuation allowances.
Revenue
Recognition and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Consulting
revenues are comprised of revenues from professional services fees recognized
primarily on a time and materials basis as performed. For fixed fee engagements,
revenues is recognized using the proportionate performance method based on
the
ratio of hours expended to total estimated hours. Revenues on uncompleted
projects are recognized on a contract-by-contract basis in the period in which
the portion of the fixed fee is complete. Billings in excess of costs plus
earnings are classified as deferred revenues. Our normal payment terms are
net
30 days. Reimbursements for out-of-pocket expenses are included in gross
revenues. Revenues from the sale of third-party software are recorded on a
gross
basis provided that we act as the principal in the transaction. In the event
we
do not meet the requirements to be considered the principal in the software
sale
transaction, we record the revenues on a net basis. There is no effect on net
income between recording the software sales on a gross basis versus a net
basis.
Revenues
are recognized when the following criteria are met: (1) persuasive evidence
of the customer arrangement exists, (2) fees are fixed and determinable,
(3) delivery and acceptance has occurred, and (4) collectibility is
deemed probable. We
consider a non-cancelable fully executed agreement or client purchase order
to
be persuasive evidence of an arrangement. We consider delivery to have occurred
upon the rendering of services or delivery of software to the client. We
consider the fee to be fixed or determinable if the fee is not subject to
adjustment, or if we have not granted extended payment terms to the client.
We
consider collection to be probable if our internal credit analysis indicates
that the client will be able to pay amounts as they become due under the
arrangement.
For
our
sales arrangements that contain multiple revenue elements, such as software
licenses, professional services and software maintenance, we first determine
whether the arrangement is within the scope of Emerging Issues Task Force
("EITF") EITF No. 00-21 ("EITF 00-21"), "Revenue Arrangements with Multiple
Deliverables" or Statement of Position ("SOP") 97-2 ("SOP 97-2"), "Software
Revenue Recognition". Under EITF 00-21, separate contracts to provide services
or for the sale of software to the same client must be evaluated as a multiple
element arrangement if they are entered into in the same time frame. We
recognize revenue on arrangements with multiple deliverables as separate units
of accounting only if certain criteria are met. In general, a deliverable meets
the separation criteria if the deliverable has standalone value to the client
and if there is objective and reliable evidence of the fair value of all
remaining undelivered elements in the arrangement. We allocate the total
arrangement consideration to each separate unit of accounting based on the
relative fair value of each separate unit of accounting. The amount of
arrangement consideration that is allocated to a delivered unit of accounting
is
limited to the amount that is not contingent upon the delivery of another
separate unit of accounting. All deliverables of the Company’s multiple element
arrangements meet these criteria.
We
follow
very specific and detailed guidelines, discussed above, in determining revenues;
however, certain judgments and estimates are made and used to determine revenues
recognized in any accounting period. Material differences may result in the
amount and timing of revenues recognized for any period if different conditions
were to prevail.
Revenues
from internally developed software are allocated to maintenance and support
and
are recognized ratably over the maintenance term (typically one
year).
Revenues
allocated to training and consulting service elements is recognized as the
services are performed. Our consulting services are not essential to the
functionality of our products as such services are available from other
vendors.
Our
allowance for doubtful accounts is based upon specific identification of likely
and probable losses. Each accounting period, we evaluate accounts receivable
for
risk associated with a client's inability to make contractual payments or
unresolved issues with the adequacy of our services. Billed and unbilled
receivables that are specifically identified as being at risk are provided
for
with a charge to revenue in the period the risk is identified. We use
considerable judgment in assessing the ultimate realization of these
receivables, including reviewing the financial stability of the client,
evaluating the successful mitigation of service delivery disputes, and gauging
current market conditions. If our evaluation of service delivery issues or
a
client's ability to pay is incorrect, we may incur future reductions to
revenue.
25
Goodwill,
Other Intangible Assets and Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Business
acquisitions typically result in goodwill and other intangible assets, and
the
recorded values of those assets may become impaired in the future. The
determination of the value of such intangible assets requires us to make
estimates and assumptions that affect our consolidated financial statements.
The
Company follows Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No.
142,
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.
In
accordance with SFAS No. 142, we assess our goodwill on October 1 of each year
or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that goodwill
might be impaired. Our judgments regarding the existence of impairment
indicators and future cash flows related to intangible assets are based on
operational performance of the businesses, market conditions and other factors.
Future events could cause us to conclude that impairment indicators exist and
that goodwill is impaired. Any resulting impairment loss could have an adverse
impact on our results of operations by decreasing net income. Management
assessed goodwill for impairment at October 1, 2006. This analysis indicated
that there was no impairment of the carrying values of goodwill.
We
evaluate long-lived tangible assets and intangible assets other than goodwill
in
accordance with SFAS No. 144,
Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets.
Long-lived assets held and used are reviewed for impairment whenever events
or
changes in circumstances indicate that their net book value may not be entirely
recoverable. When such factors and circumstances exist, we compare the projected
undiscounted future cash flows associated with the related asset or group of
assets over their estimated useful lives against their respective carrying
amounts. Impairment, if any, is based on the excess of the carrying amount
over
the fair value of those assets and is recorded in the period in which the
determination was made.
Purchase
Price Allocation
We
allocate the purchase price of our acquisitions to the assets and liabilities
acquired, including identifiable intangible assets, based on their respective
fair values at the date of acquisition. Some of
the
items, including accounts receivable, property and equipment, other intangible
assets, certain accrued liabilities, and other reserves require a high degree
of
management judgment. Certain estimates may change as additional information
becomes available. Goodwill
is assigned at the enterprise level and is deductible for tax purposes for
certain types of acquisitions. The purchase price is allocated to intangibles
based on management's estimate and an independent valuation. Management
finalizes the purchase price allocation within twelve months of the acquisition
date as certain initial accounting estimates are resolved.
Accounting
for Stock-Based Compensation
We
adopted SFAS No. 123R, Share-Based
Payment,
on
January 1, 2006, using the modified prospective application transition method.
SFAS No. 123R requires that the costs of employee share-based payments be
measured at fair value on the awards' grant date and recognized in the financial
statements over the requisite service period.
The
Company estimates the fair value of stock option awards on the date of grant
utilizing a modified Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Black-Scholes
option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of
short-term traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully
transferable. However, certain assumptions used in the Black-Scholes model,
such
as expected term, can be adjusted to incorporate the unique characteristics
of
the Company’s stock option awards. Option valuation models require the input of
somewhat subjective assumptions including expected stock price volatility and
expected term. The Company believes it is unlikely that materially different
estimates for the assumptions used in estimating the fair value of stock options
granted would be made based on the conditions suggested by actual historical
experience and other data available at the time estimates were made. Restricted
stock awards are valued at the price of our common stock on the date of the
grant.
Prior
to
January 1, 2006, the Company accounted for share-based compensation using
the intrinsic value method prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion
No. 25,
Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,
and
related interpretations and elected the disclosure option of SFAS No. 123 as
amended by SFAS No. 148,
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and
Disclosure.
SFAS
No. 123 required that companies either recognize compensation expense for grants
of stock, stock options and other equity instruments based on fair value, or
provide pro forma disclosure of net income and earnings per share in the notes
to the financial statements. Accordingly, the Company measured compensation
expense for stock options as the excess, if any, of the estimated fair market
value of the Company's stock at the date of grant over the exercise price.
The
Company provided pro forma effects of this measurement in a footnote to its
financial statements.
Income
Taxes
To
record
income tax expense, we are required to estimate our income taxes in each of
the
jurisdictions in which we operate. In addition, income tax expense at interim
reporting dates requires us to estimate our expected effective tax rate for
the
entire year. This involves estimating our actual current tax liability together
with assessing temporary differences that result in deferred tax assets and
liabilities and expected future tax rates.
26
Management
believes that our net deferred tax asset should continue to be reduced by a
valuation allowance to an amount we believe is more likely than not to be
realized. Future operating results and projections could alter this conclusion,
potentially resulting in an increase or decrease in the valuation allowance.
Since the valuation allowance relates solely to net operating and capital losses
from acquired companies which are subject to usage limitations, any decrease
in
the valuation allowance will be applied first to reduce goodwill and then to
reduce other acquisition related non-current intangible assets to zero. Any
remaining decrease in the valuation allowance would be recognized as a reduction
of income tax expense.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
In
September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin 108 (“SAB 108”), which
expresses the Staff’s views regarding the process of quantifying financial
statement misstatements. The bulletin was effective at fiscal year end 2006.
The
implementation of this bulletin had no impact on the Company’s results of
operations, cash flows or financial position.
In
September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 157,
Fair
Value Measurements
("SFAS
157"). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair
value in GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS
157
will be applied prospectively and will be effective for periods beginning after
November 15, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the effect, if any,
of
SFAS 157 on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In
June
2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation ("FIN") No. 48,
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes-an interpretation of FASB Statement
No. 109
("FIN
48"). FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for
the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken
or
expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on
derecognition, classification, treatment of interest and penalties, and
disclosure of such positions. FIN 48 will be applied prospectively and will
be
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2006. The Company will
adopt the provisions of FIN 48 in the first quarter of 2007 as required. The
adoption of FIN 48 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s
consolidated financial statements.
In
June
2006, the EITF ratified EITF Issue 06-3,
How
Taxes Collected From Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities Should
Be Presented in the Income Statement (That Is, Gross versus Net
Presentation).
A
consensus was reached that entities may adopt a policy of presenting taxes
in
the income statement on either a gross or net basis. An entity should disclose
its policy of presenting taxes and the amount of any taxes presented on a gross
basis should be disclosed, if significant. The guidance is effective for periods
beginning after December 15, 2006. We present revenues net of taxes. EITF 06-3
will not impact the method for recording these sales taxes in our consolidated
financial statements.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
The
Company currently has no off-balance sheet arrangements, except operating lease
commitments as disclosed in Footnote 10 to the consolidated financial
statements.
Item
7A. Quantitative
and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
We
are
exposed to market risks related to changes in foreign currency exchange rates
and interest rates. We believe our exposure to market risks is
immaterial.
Exchange
Rate Sensitivity
During
2006, $1.6 million of our total revenues was attributable to our Canadian
operations. Our exposure to changes in foreign currency rates primarily
arises from short-term intercompany transactions with our Canadian subsidiary
and from client receivables in the Canadian dollar. Our Canadian
subsidiary incurs a significant portion of its expenses in Canadian dollars
as
well, which helps minimize our risk of exchange rate fluctuations. Based on
the
amount of revenues attributed to Canada during 2006, this exchange rate risk
will not have a material impact on our financial position or results of
operations.
Interest
Rate Sensitivity
As
of
December 31, 2006, there were no amounts outstanding under the accounts
receivable line of credit and $25 million of available borrowing capacity,
excluding $450,000 reserved for two outstanding letters of credit to secure
facility leases. Our interest expense will fluctuate as the interest rate for
this accounts receivable line of credit floats based on the bank's prime rate.
The interest rate on the acquisition line of credit is fixed. Since there were
no amounts outstanding under the accounts receivable line of credit as of
December 31, 2006, an increase in the interest rate of 100 basis points would
add no interest expense per year.
We
had
unrestricted cash and cash equivalents totaling $4.5 million and
$5.1 million at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. These
amounts were invested primarily in money market funds. The unrestricted cash
and
cash equivalents are held for working capital purposes. We do not enter into
investments for trading or speculative purposes. Due to the short-term nature
of
these investments, we believe that we do not have any material exposure to
changes in the fair value of our investment portfolio as a result of changes
in
interest rates. Declines in interest rates, however, will reduce future
investment income.

consolidation.
2.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities
and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and such
differences could be material to the financial statements.
Reclassification
The
Company has reclassified the presentation of certain prior period information
to
conform to the 2006 presentation.
Revenue
Recognition
Revenues
are primarily derived from professional services provided on a time and
materials basis. For time and material contracts, revenues is recognized and
billed by multiplying the number of hours expended in the performance of the
contract by the established billing rates. For fixed fee projects, revenues
is
generally recognized using the proportionate performance method based on the
ratio of hours expended to total estimated hours. Revenues on uncompleted
projects are recognized on a contract-by-contract basis in the period in which
the portion of the fixed fee is complete. Billings in excess of costs plus
earnings are classified as deferred revenues. On many projects the Company
is
also reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses such as airfare, lodging and meals.
These reimbursements are included as a component of revenues. Revenues from
software sales are recorded on a gross basis based on the Company's role as
principal in the transaction. The Company is considered a “principal” if the
Company is the primary obligator and bears the associated credit risk in the
transaction. In the event the Company does not meet the requirements to be
considered a principal in the software sale transaction and acts as an agent,
the revenues would be recorded on a net basis.
Revenues
are recognized when the following criteria are met: (1) persuasive evidence
of the customer arrangement exists, (2) fees are fixed and determinable,
(3) delivery and acceptance has occurred, and (4) collectibility is
deemed probable. The Company’s policy for revenue recognition in instances where
multiple deliverables are sold contemporaneously to the same counterparty is
in
accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") Issue No. 00-21, Revenue
Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables, and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin
No.
104, Revenue Recognition. Specifically, if the Company enters into contracts
for
the sale of services and software, then the Company evaluates whether it has
objective fair value evidence for each deliverable in the transaction. If the
Company has objective fair value evidence for each deliverable of the
transaction, then it accounts for each deliverable in the transaction
separately, based on the relevant revenue recognition policies. All
deliverables of the Company’s multiple element arrangements meet these criteria.
We
follow
very specific and detailed guidelines, discussed above, in determining revenues;
however, certain judgments and estimates are made and used to determine revenues
recognized in any accounting period. Material differences may result in the
amount and timing of revenues recognized for any period if different conditions
were to prevail.
Revenues
from internally developed software are allocated to maintenance and support
and
are recognized ratably over the maintenance term (typically one
year).
Revenues
allocated to training and consulting service elements is recognized as the
services are performed. Our consulting services are not essential to the
functionality of our products as such services are available from other
vendors.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
Cash
equivalents consist primarily of cash deposits and investments with original
maturities of ninety days or less when purchased.

TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
Accounts
Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Accounts
receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount. The allowance for doubtful
accounts is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of uncollectible amounts
in its existing accounts receivable.
Management analyzes historical collection trends and changes in its customer
payment patterns, customer concentration, and credit worthiness when evaluating
the adequacy of its allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company includes any
receivables balances that are determined to be uncollectible in its overall
allowance for doubtful accounts. The
Company reviews its allowance for doubtful accounts monthly. Account balances
are charged off against the allowance when the Company believes that it is
probable the receivable will not be recovered.
Property
and Equipment
Property
and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation of property and equipment
is
computed using the straight-line method over the useful lives of the assets
(generally one to five years). Leasehold improvements are amortized over
the shorter of the life of the lease or the estimated useful life of the assets.
Intangible
Assets
Goodwill
represents the excess purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired,
or net liabilities assumed, in a business combination. In accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 142, Goodwill
and Other Intangible Assets,
the
Company performs an annual impairment test of goodwill. The Company evaluates
goodwill at the enterprise level as of October 1 each year or more frequently
if
events or changes in circumstances indicate that goodwill might be impaired.
As
required by SFAS No.142, the impairment test is accomplished using a two-stepped
approach. The first step screens for impairment and, when impairment is
indicated, a second step is employed to measure the impairment. The Company
also
reviewed other factors to determine the likelihood of impairment. No impairment
was indicated using data as of October 1, 2006.
Other
intangible assets include customer relationships, customer backlog, non-compete
arrangements and internally developed software, and are being amortized over
the
assets' estimated useful lives using the straight-line method. Estimated useful
lives range from nine months to eight years. Amortization of customer
relationships, customer backlog, non-compete arrangements and internally
developed software are considered operating expenses and are included in
“Amortization of intangible assets” in the accompanying consolidated Statements
of Income. The Company periodically reviews the estimated useful lives of its
identifiable intangible assets, taking into consideration any events or
circumstances that might result in a lack of recoverability or revised useful
life.
Impairment
of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived
assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events
or changes in circumstances indicate that their net book value may not be
entirely recoverable. When such factors and circumstances exist, the Company
compares the projected undiscounted future cash flows associated with the
related asset or group of assets over their estimated useful lives against
their
respective carrying amounts. Impairment, if any, is based on the excess of
the
carrying amount over the fair value of those assets and is recorded in the
period in which the determination was made.
Deferred
Offering Costs
Costs
incurred related to equity offerings under effective registration statements
are
deferred until the offering occurs or management does not intend to complete
the
offering. At the time that the issuance of new equity occurs, these costs are
netted against the proceeds received. These costs are expensed if the offering
does not occur. Approximately $943,000 of these costs were recorded as part
of
Other Non-Current Assets on the Balance Sheet as of December 31,
2006.
Income
Taxes
The
Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS
No. 109,
Accounting for Income Taxes.
This
Statement prescribes the use of the liability method whereby deferred tax asset
and liability account balances are determined based on differences between
financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured
using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences
are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are subject to tests of
recoverability. A valuation allowance is provided for such deferred tax assets
to the extent realization is not judged to be more likely than not.

TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
Earnings
Per Share
Basic
earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to common
stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during
the period. Diluted earnings per share includes the weighted average number
of
common shares outstanding and the number of equivalent shares which would be
issued related to the stock options and warrants using the treasury method,
contingently issuance shares, and convertible preferred stock using the
if-converted method, unless such additional equivalent shares are
anti-dilutive.
Stock-Based
Compensation
Effective
January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R (As Amended), Share
Based Payment (“SFAS
123R”), using the modified prospective application transition method. Under this
method, compensation cost for the portion of awards for which the requisite
service has not yet been rendered that are outstanding as of the adoption date
is recognized over the remaining service period. The compensation cost for
that
portion of awards is based on the grant-date fair value of those awards as
calculated for pro forma disclosures under SFAS No. 123. All new awards and
awards that are modified, repurchased, or cancelled after the adoption date
are
accounted for under the provisions of SFAS No. 123R. Prior periods are not
restated under this transition method. The Company recognizes share-based
compensation ratably using the straight-line attribution method over the
requisite service period. In addition, pursuant to SFAS No. 123R, the
Company is required to estimate the amount of expected forfeitures when
calculating share-based compensation, instead of accounting for forfeitures
as
they occur, which was the Company's practice prior to the adoption of SFAS
No. 123R.
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
Cash
equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, other accrued liabilities,
and debt are stated at amounts which approximate fair value due to the near
term
maturities of these instruments and the variable interest rates on the Company's
accounts receivable line of credit.
Recently
Issued Accounting Standards
In
September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin 108 (“SAB 108”), which
expresses the Staff’s views regarding the process of quantifying financial
statement misstatements. The bulletin was effective at fiscal year end 2006.
The
implementation of this bulletin had no impact on the Company’s results of
operations, cash flows or financial position.
In
September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 157,
Fair
Value Measurements
("SFAS
157"). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair
value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands
disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 will be applied
prospectively and will be effective for periods beginning after November 15,
2007. The Company is currently evaluating the effect, if any, of SFAS 157 on
the
Company's consolidated financial statements.
In
June
2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation ("FIN") No. 48,
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes-an interpretation of FASB Statement
No. 109
("FIN
48"). FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for
the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken
or
expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on
derecognition, classification, treatment of interest and penalties, and
disclosure of such positions. FIN 48 will be applied prospectively and will
be
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2006. The Company will
adopt the provisions of FIN 48 in the first quarter of 2007 as required. The
Company is still evaluating the effect of adopting FIN 48 and does not expect
it
to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial
statements.

TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
In
June
2006, the Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") ratified EITF Issue
06-3,
How
Taxes Collected From Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities Should
Be Presented in the Income Statement (That Is, Gross versus Net
Presentation).
A
consensus was reached that entities may adopt a policy of presenting taxes
in
the income statement on either a gross or net basis. An entity should disclose
its policy of presenting taxes and the amount of any taxes presented on a gross
basis should be disclosed, if significant. The guidance is effective for periods
beginning after December 15, 2006. We present revenues net of taxes. EITF 06-3
will not impact the method for recording these sales taxes in our consolidated
financial statements.

Concentration of Credit Risk and Significant Customers
Cash
and
accounts receivable potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit
risk. Cash is placed with highly rated financial institutions. The Company
provides credit, in the normal course of business, to its customers. The Company
generally does not require collateral or up-front payments. The Company performs
periodic credit evaluations of its customers and maintains allowances for
potential credit losses. Customers can be denied access to services in the
event
of non-payment. A substantial portion of the services the Company provides
are
built on IBM WebSphere
(R)
platforms and a significant number of its clients are identified through joint
selling opportunities conducted with IBM and through sales leads obtained from
the relationship with IBM. Revenues from IBM accounted for approximately 8%,
9%,
and 17% of total revenues for 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and accounts
receivable from IBM accounted for approximately 9% of total accounts receivable
as of December 31, 2006 and 2005. While the dollar amount of revenues from
IBM has remained relatively constant over the past three years, the percentage
of total revenues from IBM has decreased as a result of the Company's growth
and
corresponding customer diversification. The loss of the Company's relationship
with IBM or a significant reduction in the services the Company provides for
IBM
would result in significantly decreased revenues. Due to the Company's
significant fixed operating expenses, the loss of sales to IBM or any
significant customer could result in the Company's inability to generate net
income or positive cash flow from operations for some time in the
future.
5.
Employee Benefit Plan
The
Company has a qualified 401(k) profit sharing plan available to full-time
employees who meet the plan's eligibility requirements. This defined
contribution plan permits employees to make contributions up to maximum limits
allowed by the Internal Revenues Code. The Company, at its discretion, matches
a
portion of the employee's contribution under a predetermined formula based
on
the level of contribution and years of vesting services. The Company made
matching contributions equal to 25% of the first 6% of employee contributions
totaling approximately $0.5 million, $0.5 million, and $0.3 million during
2006,
2005 and 2004, respectively, which vest over a three year period of
service.

Equity Based Compensation
Stock
Option Plans
In
May 1999, the Company's Board of Directors and stockholders approved the
1999 Stock Option/Stock Issuance Plan (the “1999 Plan”). The 1999 Plan contains
programs for (i) the discretionary granting of stock options to employees,
non-employee board members and consultants for the purchase of shares of the
Company's commons stock, (ii) the discretionary issuance of common stock
directly to eligible individuals, and (iii) the automatic issuance of stock
options to non-employee board members. The Compensation Committee of the Board
of Directors administers the 1999 Plan, and determines the exercise price and
vesting period for each grant. Options granted under the 1999 Plan have a
maximum term of 10 years. In the event that the Company is acquired,
whether by merger or asset sale or board-approved sale by the stockholders
of
more than 50% of the Company's voting stock, each outstanding option under
the
discretionary option grant program which is not to be assumed by the successor
corporation or otherwise continued will automatically accelerate in full, and
all unvested shares under the discretionary option grant and stock issuance
programs will immediately vest, except to the extent the Company's repurchase
rights with respect to those shares are to be assigned to the successor
corporation or otherwise continued in effect. The Compensation Committee may
grant options under the discretionary option grant program that will accelerate
in the acquisition even if the options are assumed or that will accelerate
if
the optionee's service is subsequently terminated.
The
Compensation Committee may grant options and issue shares that accelerate in
connection with a hostile change in control effected through a successful tender
offer for more than 50% of the Company's outstanding voting stock or by proxy
contest for the election of board members, or the options and shares may
accelerate upon a subsequent termination of the individual's
service.
On
December 15, 2004, the Company granted restricted stock awards of 262,500 shares
of common stock under the 1999 Stock Option/Stock Issuance Plan. This equity
grant vests over seven years, with an original vesting schedule that was
back-loaded but was converted to pro-rata or straight-line vesting over the
seven year period due to the achievement of certain performance targets and
compensation committee approval. On December 28, 2005, the Company granted
restricted stock awards of approximately 323,000 shares of common stock under
the 1999 Stock Option/Stock Issuance Plan. This equity grant vests over six
years, with an original vesting schedule that was back-end loaded but was
converted to pro-rata or straight-line vesting over the six year period due
to
the achievement of certain performance targets and compensation committee
approval. On December 21, 2006, the Company granted restricted stock awards
of
approximately 843,000 shares of common stock under the 1999 Stock Option/Stock
Issuance Plan. This equity grant vests ratably over five years.

The
fair

pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions for the year
ended
December 31, 2005 and 2004, as follows, with a weighted-average life of
options of 5 years used for each of the years presented:

At
December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, the weighted-average remaining
contractual life of outstanding options was 6.27, 7.17, and 7.89 years,
respectively. The weighted-average grant-date fair value per share of options
granted during 2005 and 2004 at market prices was approximately $7.81 and $4.67,
respectively. There were no option grants at below or above market prices during
2005 and 2004. No option grants occurred in 2006.
The
Company recognized $3.1 million and $0.3 million of stock compensation expense
during 2006 and 2005, respectively. Tax benefits recognized on stock option
exercises were $0.8 million and $0.2 million during 2006 and 2005. For the
year
ended December 31, 2004, stock compensation expense and the related tax benefits
recognized on stock option exercises were immaterial. As of December 31, 2006,
there was $19.7 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to
non-vested share-based awards. This cost is expected to be recognized over
a
weighted-average period of 2.8 years.
Our
estimated forfeiture rate for the year ended December 31, 2006 of approximately
12% for share based awards was based on historical forfeiture experience to
anticipate actual forfeitures in the future.

Employee
Stock Purchase Plan
In
2005,
the Compensation Committee approved the Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the
“ESPP”) to be available to employees starting January 1, 2006. The ESPP is a
broadly-based stock purchase plan in which any eligible employee may elect
to
participate by authorizing the Company to make payroll deductions in a specific
amount or designated percentage to pay the exercise price of an option. In
no
event will an employee be granted an option under the ESPP that would permit
the
purchase of Common Stock with a fair market value in excess of $25,000 in any
calendar year and the Compensation Committee of the Company has set the current
annual participation limit at $12,500. For the year ended December 31, 2006,
approximately 6,000 shares had been purchased under the ESPP.
There
are four three-month offering periods in each calendar year beginning on January
1, April 1, July 1, and October 1, respectively. The exercise price of options
granted under the ESPP is an amount equal to 95% of the fair market value of
the
Common Stock on the date of exercise (occurring on, respectively, March 31,
June
30, September 30, and December 31). The ESPP is designed to comply with Section
423 of the Code and thus is eligible for the favorable tax treatment afforded
by
Section 423.

Line of Credit and Long Term Debt
On
June 29, 2006, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Loan and
Security Agreement with Silicon Valley Bank and KeyBank National Association.
The amended agreement increased the total size of the Company's senior bank
credit facilities from $28.5 million to $51.3 million by increasing the
accounts receivable line of credit from $15 million to $25 million and
increasing the acquisition term line of credit from $13.5 million to
$26.3 million.
The
accounts receivable line of credit, which expires in June 2009, provides
for a borrowing capacity equal to all eligible accounts receivable, including
80% of unbilled revenues, subject to certain borrowing base calculations as
defined in the agreement, but in no event more than $25 million. Borrowings
under this line of credit bear interest at the bank's prime rate (8.25% at
December 31, 2006). As of December 31, 2006, there were no amounts outstanding
under the accounts receivable line of credit and $25 million of available
borrowing capacity, excluding $450,000 reserved for two outstanding letters
of credit to secure facility leases. In January 2007, the letters of
credit decreased $50,000.
The
Company's $26.3 million term acquisition line of credit provides an additional
source of financing for certain qualified acquisitions. As of December 31,
2006,
the balance outstanding under this acquisition line of credit was approximately
$1.3 million. Borrowings under this acquisition line of credit bear interest
equal to the four year U.S. Treasury note yield plus 3% based on the spot rate
on the day the draw is processed (7.69% at December 31, 2006). Borrowings under
this acquisition line are repayable in thirty-six equal monthly installments
after the initial interest only period which continues through June 29, 2007.
Draws under this acquisition line may be made through June 29, 2008. As of
December 31, 2006, the balance outstanding under this acquisition line of credit
of $1.3 million had an average interest rate of 7.00%. The
Company currently has approximately $25.0 million of available borrowing
capacity under this acquisition line of credit.
The
Company is required to comply with various financial covenants under the $51.3
million credit facility. Specifically, the Company is required to maintain
a
ratio of after tax earnings before interest, depreciation and amortization,
and
other non-cash charges, including but not limited to stock and stock option
compensation expense on trailing three months annualized, to current maturities
of long-term debt and capital leases plus interest of at least 1.50 to 1.00,
a
ratio of cash plus eligible accounts receivable including 80% of unbilled
revenues less principal amount of all outstanding advances on accounts
receivable line of credit to advances under the term acquisition line of credit
of at least 0.75 to 1.00, and a maximum ratio of all outstanding advances under
the entire credit facility to earnings before taxes, interest, depreciation,
amortization and other non-cash charges, including but not limited to, stock
and
stock option compensation expense including pro forma adjustments for
acquisitions on a trailing twelve month basis of no more than 2.50 to 1.00.
As
of December 31, 2006, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under
this facility. This credit facility is secured by substantially all assets
of
the Company.
Notes
payable to related party at December 31, 2005 consisted of non
interest-bearing notes issued to the shareholders of Javelin
Solutions, Inc. (“Javelin”) in April 2002 in connection with the
Company's acquisition of Javelin. The note was fully repaid in

Income Taxes
As
of
December 31, 2006, the Company had U.S. Federal tax net operating loss
carry forwards of approximately $6.3 million that will begin to expire in
2020 if not utilized. The Company has established a valuation allowance against
these net operating loss carry forwards of $2.0 million.
Utilization
of net operating losses may be subject to an annual limitation due to the
“change in ownership” provisions of the Internal Revenues Code of 1986. The
annual limitation may result in the expiration of net operating losses before
utilization.

The
Company has established a valuation allowance to offset a portion of the
Company's deferred tax assets due to uncertainties regarding the realization
of
deferred tax assets based on the Company's earnings history and limitations
on
the utilization of acquired net operating losses. The valuation allowance
decreased by approximately $0.3 million during 2006 and decreased by
approximately $0.7 million during 2005. These decreases are primarily due to
the
benefit of acquired net operating loss carryforwards. As of December 31, 2006,
all of the valuation allowance relates to acquired entities, and as such, if
realized, will reduce goodwill or other non-current assets prior to resulting
in
an income tax benefit.

During
2005, the Company determined that its undistributed earnings of foreign
subsidiaries were no longer permanently reinvested. All of the undistributed
earnings were deemed to have been repatriated during 2005 under U.S. tax law,
and current federal and state taxes on the deemed repatriated amounts (less
applicable foreign tax credits) are included in the respective current
provisions. Upon actual repatriation of these earnings, in the form of dividends
or otherwise, the Company will be subject to withholding taxes payable to the
various foreign countries. A deferred tax liability has been recorded to reflect
the foreign withholding tax. The foreign entities have minimal temporary items
and thus no deferred taxes have been provided thereon.

In
connection with certain of its acquisitions, the Company was required to
establish various letters of credit totaling $450,000 with Silicon
Valley Bank to serve as collateral for certain office space leases. These
letters of credit reduce the borrowings available under the Company's line
of
credit with Silicon Valley Bank. In January 2007, these letters of credit
decreased $50,000. One
letter of credit for $200,000 will remain in effect through October 2009, and
the other letter of credit for $250,000 will remain in effect through June
2007.

REPORT
OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The
Board
of Directors and Stockholders
Perficient,
Inc.
Austin,
Texas
We
have
audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Perficient, Inc. as
of
December 31, 2006 and 2005 and the related consolidated statements of income,
stockholders’ equity and comprehensive income, and cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 2006. These financial statements
are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We
conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we
plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining,
on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In
our
opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of Perficient, Inc. at December
31, 2006 and 2005, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for
each
of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2006,
in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of
America.
As
discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, effective
January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 123(R), Share-Based
Payment.
We
also
have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (United States), the effectiveness of Perficient, Inc.’s
internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, based on
criteria established in Internal
Control - Integrated Framework issued
by
the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO)
and
our report dated March 1, 2007 expressed an unqualified opinion
thereon.

of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We
have
established disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that material
information relating to the Company, including its consolidated subsidiaries,
is

We
maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that

Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods
specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated
and communicated to management, including the principal executive officer and
principal financial officer of the Company, as appropriate, to allow timely
decisions regarding required disclosure. The Company's management, with the
participation of the Company's principal executive officer and principal
financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure
controls and procedures as of the end of the fiscal year covered by this Annual
Report on Form 10-K. As described below under Management's Annual Report on
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, the Company has determined that
its
disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Management's
Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our
management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal
control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules
13a-15(f). In fulfilling this responsibility, estimates and judgments by
management are required to assess the expected benefits and related costs of
control procedures. The objectives of internal control include providing
management with reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that assets are
safeguarded against loss from unauthorized use or disposition, and that
transactions are executed in accordance with management's authorization and
recorded properly to permit the preparation of consolidated financial statements
in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management,
including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer,
we
conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over
financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control - Integrated
Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission. Based on our assessment under those criteria, management concluded
that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of
December 31, 2006.
Our
management's assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over
financial reporting as of December 31, 2006 has been audited by BDO Seidman,
LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report
which is included herein.
Changes
in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
During
the quarter ended December 31, 2006, we continued our remediation efforts from
the prior quarters in order to fully remediate our previously reported material
weakness. This includes performing the following:
|
·
|
Verified
employee security access to our automated general ledger system is
appropriate related to the employee’s responsibilities and further
strengthened our controls surrounding general ledger access granted
to our
new accounting personnel;
|
|
·
|
Established
certain spreadsheet controls including required detail review of
key
spreadsheets, limited access to key spreadsheets on a central server
and
assignment of appropriate rights, a controlled process for requesting
changes to a spreadsheet, and a process to back up spreadsheets on
a
regular basis so that complete and accurate information is available
for
financial reporting;
|
|
·
|
Activated
certain additional application and prevent controls with the assistance
of
our general ledger software provider and our internal technology
personnel; and
|
|
·
|
Engaged
a third party to assist with project management and strategic oversight
of
our remediation of the 2005 significant deficiencies and material
weakness
and the 2006 control review process.
|
52
In
addition, during the year ended December 31, 2006, we have hired several new
employees to further diversify accounting responsibilities, most notably the
addition of a new Chief Financial Officer, but also including various senior
and
staff accountants.
The
cumulative impact of these activities established during 2006 occurred and
management obtained sufficient evidence of the operating effectiveness of such
additional controls during the year ended December 31, 2006. Accordingly,
management has concluded that our previously reported material weakness caused
principally by inadequate staffing levels has been remediated.

REPORT
OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To
the
Board of Directors and Stockholders
Perficient,
Inc.
Austin,
Texas
We
have
audited management’s assessment, included in the accompanying Management’s
Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting, that Perficient, Inc.
(“the
Company”) maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2006, based on the criteria established in Internal
Control-Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations, or COSO, of the Treadway Commission. The Company’s management is
responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting
and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial
reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management’s
assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control
over financial reporting based on our audit.
We
conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we
plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective
internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material
respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control
over
financial reporting, evaluating management’s assessment, testing and evaluating
the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing
such
other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe
that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
A
company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to
provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting
and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over
financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:
(1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail,
accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets
of
the Company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are
recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts
and
expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with
authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (3) provide
reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized
acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a
material effect on the financial statements.
Because
of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may
not
prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of
effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become
inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance
with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
As
indicated in the accompanying Management's Report on Internal Control Over
Financial Reporting, the scope of management's assessment of the effectiveness
of internal control over financial reporting includes all of the Company's
consolidated operations, except for the acquired operations of Bay Street
Solutions, Inc., Insolexen Corporation, and the Energy, Government and General
Business (“EGG”) division of Digital Consulting & Software Services, Inc.
(collectively the “Acquired Companies”), each of which the Company acquired
during 2006. The Acquired Companies represented 29% of the Company’s total
assets as of December 31, 2006, and 17% of the Company’s revenues for the year
ended December 31, 2006. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting
of the Company also excluded an evaluation of the internal control over
financial reporting of the Acquired Companies’ operations.
In
our
opinion, management’s assessment that Perficient, Inc. maintained effective
internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006 is fairly
stated in all material respects, based on the criteria established in Internal
Control-Integrated Framework issued by COSO. Also in our opinion, the Company
maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial
reporting as of December 31, 2006, based on the criteria established in Internal
Control-Integrated Framework issued by COSO.
We
have
also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Perficient,
Inc. as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related consolidated statements
of income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in
the period ended December 31, 2006. Our report on these financial
statements dated, March 1, 2007, expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.
